Sorry, I don't have much else to tell you. We're not currently burning developer hours in backporting the kernel client to old kernels. An older version of ceph-client-standalone.git might work, or it might not -- we don't regression test that code. If your need is big enough, I'm sure the professional services side will take good care of you ;) As for 64-bit, I've used it everywhere for a long time and haven't had major breakage. I think it's a smaller risk than running an old ceph kernel client on 2.6.32. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" i= n the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
