Hello All,

I need to get a Lustre 2.7.0 system running from scratch and I was wondering if anyone knows what the most current version of CentOS with Lustre support is server-wise. As I poke around the documentation it looks like CentOS 6.3, 6.4, and possibly 6.5 are supported.

  • It’s been mentioned here a couple times recently, but it bears repeating: The only supported version of CentOS is the latest. If the documentation says it requires 6.3, 6.4 or 6.5, it probably means
    “this is what we tested it on” and possibly “this kernel works”.

    If you want to run Lustre on CentOS6, you run the latest version, or you get to support it yourself and backport all security patches yourself (or pay someone else, like Red Hat).

  • To be more precise, only the major version matters. CentOS 5, 6 and 7
    are all supported by the project, but minor numbers (6.7, 7.2) are cosmetic.
