[cdwg] Lustre 2.4 update - March 1st 2013

[Jones, Peter A]

 Hi there

Here is an update on the Lustre 2.4 release. Details of the scope of the release are at http://wiki.whamcloud.com/display/Releases/Lustre+2.4+Scope+Statement

Landings
========

-A number of landings made - see http://git.whamcloud.com/?p=fs/lustre-release.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/master
-LU-2449 is a significant bug fix for ZFS; LU-2828 had been responsible for a number of intermittent failures testing other patches so it is well worth ensuring that you have rebased recently enough to have this fix before submitting patches

Testing
=======

-Testing on the 2.3.61 tag is close to completion; the 2.3.62 tag should be created in the coming days

Blockers
========

-Full list available at http://jira.whamcloud.com/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=10292
-If there are any issues not presently marked as blockers that you believe should be, please let me know

Other
=====
-We are in the stabilization period for the release now so this is an ideal time for community members to start testing tags and open JIRA tickets for any issues encountered

Thanks

Peter
