We need testing support for the separate ldiskfs package.  Here are my thoughts,
which are hopefully enough to give those more familiar with the test system some
idea where we need to go.  If any of this sounds wrong, please let me know.


Buffalo''s testing requests page needs to be able to accept a tag for
ldiskfs as
well as a tag for Lustre.  This will likely require modifications to any page
that deals with testing requests.  The tag will then be passed to the build
system.

Likely the easiest thing to do is to modify the existing
lbuild_and_update_kernel.sh to also build an ldiskfs RPM based on the tag.  For
estimating purposes, you can assume a command similar to the
''lbuild'' command
used to build Lustre RPMs, but this has yet to be written.  The script will also
need to be able to install the appropriate ldiskfs RPM on an image after
installing the Lustre kernel but before installing the Lustre RPMs.
