It's in "staging", not "stable" :) And yeah, I thought it built properly, as it was running on lots of systems for years, but it turns out, no one ever tested non-x86 builds of the thing, and linux-next just choked all over it, which is why it is disabled from the build for 3.11. We will get it all building properly for 3.12, so no rush on these types of ext4 patches, Andreas and the other Lustre developers will get it resolved. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
