I had cross compiled lustre-1.6.4.1 for ARM.
The following error is coming while trying to format ost.
I checked all the .ko files generated after building lustre but
couldn''t
find ldiskfs.ko.

Is the ldiskfs module available?

This is a very old beta release. For your own sanity, I''d strongly
suggest you upgrade to something more recent like 1.6.4.1 before banging
your head any more.
