[gpfsug-discuss] gpfs 4.2.3.6 stops working with kernel 3.10.0-862.2.3.el7

[Andi Rhod Christiansen]

You are welcome. 

I see your concern but as long as IBM has not released spectrum scale for 7.5 that is their only solution, in regards to them caring about security I would say yes they do care, but from their point of view either they tell the customer to upgrade as soon as red hat releases new versions and forcing the customer to be down until they have a new release or they tell them to stay on supported level to a new release is ready. 

they should release a version supporting the new kernel soon, IBM told me when I asked that they are "currently testing and have a support date soon"

Best regards.

Thanks. Does IBM care about security, one would ask? In this case I'd choose to use the new kernel for my virtualization over gpfs ... sigh
