It's under development. If I remember correctly, in 1.5.95 it wasn't
fully working.
There were previous posts from the community with patches for fixing it up.
Our "officially supported" and tested kernels are listed in
kernel_patches/which_patch.

I'm confused by the statement: "We don't support 2.6.18 yet".
Do you mean all distos of 2.6.18 or only specific ones?
The 1.5.95 tarball has series files and patches for 2.6.18.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] series]# pwd
/lustre-1.5.95/lustre/kernel_patches/series

You have to patch the kernel with the entire series of Lustre patches,
in lustre/kernel_patches. We don't support 2.6.18 yet, but you can find
fixes in a previous thread on this list.
(If configure finds a kernel that does not have the lustre patches, it
tries to build the patchless client configuration.)

I think I found the problem, configure gives to error messages:
./configure: line 4454: LC_CONFIG_GSS: command not found and later
configure: WARNING: Patchless build detected, disabling server
building
I think the last one can be the reason of the problem, but I have no
idea why this happens?
I'm not very familar with configure scripts.

There is a "--enable-ldiskfs" option, but it's always on afaik.
./configure should show:
checking whether to enable ldiskfs

When you built the rest of the lustre modules (e.g. obdclass,
lnet), the ldiskfs module should also have been built.
Check the results of the compile.
o.k. this means this module realy should exists, lnet and others I
found, but ldiskfs is only a directory.
I will check if there are any hints in the log files or on stdout.
Is there a configure option which enable or disable ldiskfs?

ldiskfs-2.6.18-vanilla.series and 2.6.18-vanilla.series I have
applied both.
But the problem still exists.
Still there is no ldiskfs module,
if I modprobe lustre, dmesg shows:
kernel: Lustre: 17675:0:(module.c:382:init_libcfs_module())

What is missing or what I have done wrong?

Hi all and
Happy New Year!
I try to install lustre 1.5.95 with vanilla kernel 2.6.18.6 on
debian sarge.
I have installed the following patches (see mail from Alastair
McKinstry Mon Oct 23 07:20:06 MDT 2006 here) tasklist_lock.bin
aliasing_workaround.bin statfs.bin 2.6.18-kern-mount.dpatch
2.6.18_nrpagecache.dpatch
and installed the binary package of e2fsprogs-1.39.cfs2
The kernel is running and I can load the lustre module with
modprobe lustre.
But if I make
mkfs.lustre --fsname=testfs --mdt --mgs /dev/sda2 I got the
following error:
mkfs.lustre: Unable to mount /dev/sda2: No such device Is the
ldiskfs module available?
Indeed ldiskfs does not exists, and the lustre modules are not
loaded by mkfs.
Now I don't know where I have to look for the problem. Must the
ldiskfs module realy exist?
Or is there a problem with e2fsprogs-1.39.cfs2?
I have tried to compile this package by myself, but not managed
it up to now.
Thanks for your help
Harald
