  "Whamcloud, a venture-backed company formed from a worldwide network
  of high-performance computing (HPC) storage industry veterans, today
  announced the release of Lustre 2.1 with better control over
  virtualized storage and wider platform support. It is the first full
  release of Lustre with Whamcloud and OpenSFS hosting the master
  codeline. Significant in this release, contribution rules have been
  greatly simplified to more openly encourage community contributions."

.....
  "Several notable new features have been added in Lustre 2.1.
  The maximum OST/MDT size has been increased from 16TB to 128TB,
  allowing configurations with 3TB drives. The benefit of this is
  better control over virtualized storage and was a major user request.
  Another main user request, support for RHEL/CentOS 6 server, has
  also been added. There were no deprecations compared to the 2.0
  support matrix."
