Dear All, I want to download and build the lustre version which is the right for me. I see this on the download page: Lustre source code lustre-1.6.4.2.tar.gz <http://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_SMI-Site/en_US/-/USD/VerifyItem-Start/lustre-1.6.4.2.tar.gz?BundledLineItemUUID=FlhIBe.oCBQAAAEYG5xNb4UP&OrderID=MrNIBe.obzYAAAEY65tNb4UP&ProductID=zKvACUFBHQ4AAAEYl3A5AXj5&FileName=/lustre-1.6.4.2.tar.gz> 3.85 MB <http://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_SMI-Site/en_US/-/USD/VerifyItem-Start/lustre-debuginfo-1.6.4.2-2.6.18_8.1.14.el5_lustre.1.6.4.2smp.x86_64.rpm?BundledLineItemUUID=qDVIBe.oHa4AAAEYJZxNb4UP&OrderID=MrNIBe.obzYAAAEY65tNb4UP&ProductID=zKvACUFBHQ4AAAEYl3A5AXj5&FileName=/lustre-debuginfo-1.6.4.2-2.6.18_8.1.14.el5_lustre.1.6.4.2smp.x86_64.rpm>Lustre sources (installable RPM) lustre-source-1.6.4.2-2.6.18_8.1.14.el5_lustre.1.6.4.2smp.x86_64.rpm <http://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_SMI-Site/en_US/-/USD/VerifyItem-Start/lustre-source-1.6.4.2-2.6.18_8.1.14.el5_lustre.1.6.4.2smp.x86_64.rpm?BundledLineItemUUID=svRIBe.ogIMAAAEYTpxNb4UP&OrderID=MrNIBe.obzYAAAEY65tNb4UP&ProductID=zKvACUFBHQ4AAAEYl3A5AXj5&FileName=/lustre-source-1.6.4.2-2.6.18_8.1.14.el5_lustre.1.6.4.2smp.x86_64.rpm> 3.95 MB - What is the difference between the above two file?

For example I don''t find in its source any lustre related code, ldiskfs, or something like that. If I try to build it, I get various errors. With kernel-source rpm I get a message, don''t use kernel-source rpm, or if I make a full build in the kernel directory not only ''make include/asm; make include/linux/version.h; make SUBDIRS=scripts'' with the linux tar.bz2 I get an other error message (sorry, at this moment I do not remember to all errors, but if you want, I can replay them). So may latest question is how to make a full build, which file do I have to download and what is the right build way for make a full tarball (kernel, utils, modules, etc.) Thank you, tamas
