We are pleased to announce that the Lustre 2.16.1 Release has been declared GA and is available for download. You can also grab the source from git
This is not an LTS release – this is a re-spin of 2.16.0 with a single fix (LU-18435) that we have discovered has a broader scope than first understood. We recommend that anyone planning to use 2.16.x uses this release rather than 2.16.0.
A reminder that 2.16.x includes new features:
RHEL 9.4 Server support Support for Rocky/RHEL 9.4 servers (LU-18150)
IPv6 Support Providing the option to use large NIDs (LU-10391)
Optimized Directory Traversal Improved Speed/Efficiency for large directories/trees (LU-15975)
Thanks to all those who have contributed to the creation of this release.
This release is dedicated to the memory of Olaf Weber who was an active member of the Lustre Working Group and a long-term contributor to the Lustre project. Olaf passed away suddenly earlier this year and is much-missed by those of us who had the pleasure of working with him.
We are pleased to announce that the Lustre 2.15.0 Release has been declared GA and is available for download. You can also grab the source from git
