Hello, I''m getting the following error when I try to compile Lustre 2.0.0.1 on SLES10 (Patchlevel 2): make[5]: Entering directory `/usr/src/lustre-2.0.0.1/ldiskfs/ldiskfs'' make[5]: *** No rule to make target `../kernel_patches/series/ldiskfs-2.6-sles10.series'', needed by `sources''. Stop. make[5]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/lustre-2.0.0.1/ldiskfs/ldiskfs'' inside that directory there are only files for RedHat5 and SLES11. Is SLES10 still supported? Thanks in advance.

Does it mean that Lustre is completely dropping server support for SLES?

Yes, that is what Oracle had announced in the roadmap. SLES servers are still supported on Lustre 1.8.x, but Oracle announced plans to not support them with Lustre 2.x. Given the similarities between the RHEL6 and SLES11 kernels, I am sure someone could bring SLES support back when RHEL6 is supported, if enough people were willing to pay for it.

I did the mechanics of getting Lustre 2.0.0.1 compiled and running under SLES11SP1 (I first tried just SLES11, but it was too hard; the kernel was just too old to make bringing the ext4 patches forward feasible, at least for me). I have it working right now in a small test filesystem I use for non-production work. It was a pain (the major problems were in ldiskfs), but MOST of the pieces were there; it was mostly a matter of shuffling things around and figuring out what went where (I don''t want to say it was EASY; it took a while. But it wouldn''t call it _hard_; it was mostly annoying, especially since I wasn''t that familiar at the time with ext4/ldiskfs). I''ve been thinking of working with the open-source Lustre groups to get this into a future release; perhaps I''ll talk with some of them at the upcoming LUG. --Ken
It''d be a pity if eventually only OEL gets supported! Anyways, thanks for the responses! Regards, Alvaro.

Hi, Ken. Thanks for putting in this effort. I think that others would be interested (I am). Perhaps you could share your work at github or post to lustre-devel ahead of LUG?

It was a pain (the > major problems were in ldiskfs)FYI, 1.8 and 2.0 used to share the ldiskfs patches (we lost this with the transition to git), so the ldiskfs module shipped with 1.8.5 (which supports SLES11 SP1) already has most of the patches required for lustre 2.0.0. I think it would have been less painful to start from there and to add the missing patches (e.g. data_in_dirent.patch). Cheers, Johann -- Johann Lombardi Whamcloud, Inc. www.whamcloud.com

No doubt you''re right; I guess I was thinking that since there was a series of patches marked "SLES11" in 2.0.0.1, that was the closest place to start from. Live and learn, I guess. On the upside, I now know more about ext4, ldiskfs, and the Lustre build system than I did before :-/ --Ken

Perhaps you could share your work at github or post >to lustre-devel ahead of LUG?Thanks for the words of encouragement! My boss has no problem with my work being redistributed, but he''s not really a fan of putting it on github; for legal reasons, we''d rather be under the umbrella of another organization (like what I am doing with the MacOS X port). I''ll check into a few things and see what my options are, and I''ll post something here (and to lustre-devel) when we get it out and about (I suppose I could do a simple context diff now, but that''s not very manageable). --Ken
