Upcoming Lustre Releases
Upcoming Lustre releases are previewed below.
Lustre 1.8.2
- Targeted for release - January 2010
- Includes support for SLES10 SP3 and RHEL 5.4
- Introduces several minor features, including 16TB LUN support
- 16TB LUN support (16038) - Provides support for 16TB LUNs, doubling the 8TB LUN limit in earlier releases. 16TB LUNs enables users to create larger OSTs and reduce the number of OSTs in their file system. Fewer OSTs offer these benefits:
- - More efficient server performance by reducing the number of OSTs attached to an OSS
- - More bandwidth per stripe
- - Fewer objects to configure
- - More space per file (if using more than 160 OSTs)
- In Lustre 1.8.2, 16TB LUN support is off, by default.
Lustre 2.0
- Targeted for release - Q1 2010
- Includes client support for RHEL 5, SLES 10 and 11, Scientific Linux (new), and Fedora 11 2.6.30 (new)
- Introduces several new features:
For information about the Lustre 2.0 team's alpha and beta milestones and related testing, see the Lustre 2.0 Release Milestone Status page.

Lustre Support Matrix
This matrix lists the kernels, e2fsprogs and network versions that are officially supported by each Lustre release, and for which we provide compiled Lustre packages (RPMs).
- A "supported" version has been tested and verified against Lustre, and we provide official support for it. An 'X' denotes a supported version.
- A "not supported" version has not been tested against Lustre, and we do not provide official support for it. "Not supported" versions are not recommended for use with Lustre, although they may work in a given environment.
- A shaded cell denotes a version that was supported, but is no longer supported in newer versions of Lustre. For example, Lustre 1.8 releases do not support flavors of RHEL 4 or SLES 9. Lustre 1.8.1 and later versions do not support Linux vanilla kernel 2.6.22.14.
NOTE:
For detailed information about the Lustre 1.8 release, see Change Log 1.8.
For detailed information about the Lustre 1.6.x releases, see Change Log 1.6.
