CentOS Storage SIG packages aren't built with EPEL packages, nor can they
be. At least not at present AIUI. Thus I would claim, generally, that you
should not mix CentOS SIG and EPEL on the same machine.

I believe there are plans afoot to more tightly integrate CentOS, EPEL, and
Fedora, such that SIG packages would be able to use EPEL, but those haven't
come to fruition yet, AFAIK. Maybe we will get a status update at the
upcoming CentOS dojo in Boston in a couple of weeks.

I don't remember the timing of ganesha using userspace-rcu, but even
Gluster has been shipping its own userspace-rcu. The ganesha-2.7 builds
under gluster in the Storage SIG would have used it, if it was even using
it all at.

Centos, or more accurately, the Ceph builds in the Storage SIG, provide the
lttng-ust packages that were (apparently) used to build ganesha. I say
apparently because I don't see where else they could have come from. Looks
like I need to tag those into the ganesha-28 repos.
