o.k. done! quilt does not work for me (I have realy no experiences with quilt, therefore its probably my fault). I get allways the message that all patches were applied, but indeed no patch was applied!
- I applied now all patches with patch - then I configure with disable quilt - make -i - found to additional errors for which a workaround can be found on this list (just google) - make install - modprobe ldiskfs - modprobe lustre the rest works as described on: https://mail.clusterfs.com/wikis/lustre/MountConf o.k. hard work but as I understood 2.6.18 was not supported yet. But now the first step is done and I roughly have 2 months before I realy need a production system. Question to the experts: -do you expect the 1.6.0 will be ready within two months? -will 2.6.18 be supported in 1.6.0?
