[Lustre-devel] [Bug 12084] Testing support for separate ldiskfs package
Please don''t reply to lustre-devel. Instead, comment in Bugzilla by using the following link: https://bugzilla.lustre.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12084 (In reply to comment #1)> So customers are going to have to install an additional RPM to lustre and the > kernel to install?Yes.> God help us, no. Is it really as complicated (as lbuild seems to have made it > anyway) as building lustre and a kernel? I can''t imagine why it would be any > more complicated that building an external kernel module.I''m not proposing we reuse lbuild, just that the external interface to what we end up providing will likely be similar. It needs to do many of the same jobs: download a kernel, check out from CVS or unpack a tarball, build RPMs.> Is there a relationship between this ldiskfs and the kernel? i.e. will kernel > sources be needed to build it? I couldn''t imagine they wouldn''t be, but need to > ask just to gather information for whoever is going to have to do this. :-)Yes, kernel sources will be required, in a similar manner to the situation with lustre-modules today.> It would probably be installed in the same rpm command that installslustre-modules. Sure, makes sense.
