Re: [Lustre-discuss] debian/ubuntu .deb packaging
You might also want to pass this onto the pkg-lustre maintainers site. Also their svn repository for what patches they use for things svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-lustre It might be prudent to let them know what you plan on doing for debian support so you can not step on each others toes.

Before it can get added to our source tree it needs inspecting from a couple of people knowledgeable in doing .deb packaging however. So I am hoping that a couple of the people responsible for the packaging of the existing .debs for Ubuntu/Debian wouldn't mind inspecting my patch. Or anyone else who feels they are proficient enough in .deb packaging to offer approval or constructive criticism of my patches is welcome. You will need an account in our bugzilla in order to transact the inspection and approval and/or criticism. I would be glad to contribute though I am not a Debian developer, but I am very interested as I recently had to make Debian packages for lustre-1.8.0 as no packages from Debian are available yet. I started from existing Debian sources for lustre-1.6.7-2 and I adapted then as my knowledge allowed me, and then I made a local Ubuntu repository. We have a 128 client cluster using Infiniband that intends to use Lustre as the central storage with 2 OSSs and a DDN 9900 unit. Not in production yet, so I can make tests freely and play with it. It seems to work but I would be glad to share what I did I learn from others work Regards Anyone interested?

Re: [Lustre-discuss] Lustre 1.8 and vanilla kernel version
Personally, I'm waiting for them to get the use vanilla kernel greater than 2.6.27 for servers bug out of the way first, they have testing and are also trying to integrate ext4 that direction. I think it would be nice to get an updated vanilla patch set in the lustre source :) Thanks, - David Brown On Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at 7:22 AM, Ralf Utermann ralf.uterm...@physik.uni-augsburg.de wrote: Dear list, we are using Lustre on a Debian compute cluster.

A related question: is there an easy way of building the Lustre kernel

In the past I've simply added the appropriate things to the rhel
kernel spec file, the CFS guys have a very different build suite (I'm
unsure how it works I've never been able to reproduce it). After
modifying the rhel spec and putting the added 'lustre' config and
lustre kernel patches in the SOURCE directory all you have to do is
call rpmbuild.
This patch was made against an old 2.6.18-5x kernel not the 2.6.18-9x
of rhel 5.2. So Some things in the patch will have to be modified.
Also, this was used with 1.6.4 not 1.6.5 so if they added some extra
patches in the series those need to be added to the appropriate part
of the spec file.

Re: [Lustre-discuss] Download Problems with lustre 1.6.4.3
I had the *very same* experience, receiving from SDLC talk about firewall settings etc., culminating in an off-topic and canned referral to the Java development community -- very frustrating. I found the RPMs I was seeking at the download site Oleg mentioned. Feels like arriving at an oasis of sanity. -- Thank you very much! If there has been more issues than just mine and if you've brought the download issue up with SDLC. I'd like to know a few things from you if you could (this goes to anyone having issues). 1) location in the world or internet. 2) when you tried to download. 3) if you have some SDLC reference number that I can pass on to the people I'm talking to so they can see there's a more wide spread issue here (Sun being stupid? ;). The more data we can throw at them complaining about this hopefully they'll get the picture that it sucks and they need to fix it.
