I am trying to build a Lustre file system over CentOS. The file system
server's kernel needs to be lustrized, however client can be installed
without altering kernel. I was struggling with client installation and
thought specific kernel requirement might be an issue. I am stil not
sure why is it failing though...
Anyway, to cut it short, needed for some dependency issues..
