I have a redhad linx5 running under VMWare. I tried to install Lustre 1.8.7 on that linux. I followed their tutorial http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/lustre-distributed-filesystem?page=0,0 First I installed patched kernel and rebooted to make sure the new kernel is loaded. Then I started to install other rpms. I had unknown symbols warnings when installing lustre-modules: rpm -ivh lustre-modules-1.8.7-2.6.18_194.17.1.el5_lustre.1.8.7.x86_64.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:lustre-modules ########################################### [100%] WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.17.1.el5_lustre.1.8.7/updates/kernel/fs/lustre/fsfilt_ldiskfs.ko needs unknown symbol ldiskfs_free_blocks WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.17.1.el5_lustre.1.8.7/updates/kernel/fs/lustre/fsfilt_ldiskfs.ko needs unknown symbol ldiskfs_journal_start_sb .......

My questions are 1) Can Lustre be installed on a Linux running under a VMWare virtual machine? 2) If answer of 1) is yes, how to solve my installation problem?
