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.

The support matrix also includes shaded boxes that indicate a kernel no longer supported by a newer version 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.
