Lustre discuss - May 2006 - [corrected]-Is my installation correct and How to test my Lustre ?

Hi!
I am new to the Lustre system.
I installed a Lustre. But I am not sure if my installation process is
corrcet and I want to learn some methods to test my Lustre.
Could you please give some suggestion?
Thanks!

My installation was as follows:

1. Fully install redhat linux as 3.0 (2.4.21)

2. Install the quilt tool

2.1 Install
#tar xzvf quilt-0.29_CFS8.tar.gz
#cd ./quilt-0.29_CFS8
# ./configure
checking for gcc... gcc
...
...
config.status: creating Makefile

quilt version 0.29_CFS8 configured.

Using ''/usr/local'' for installation prefix.

Report bugs to quilt-dev@nongnu.org
# ./make install
...
...

2.2. Test the quilt tool:
#cd test
# ./run reorder.test
[3] $ mkdir d -- ok
...
...
[49] $ rm -rf d -- ok
16 commands (16 passed, 0 failed)

3. Patch the linux kernel
Download lustre-1.2.4.tar.gz to /usr/Jiang/, then
#tar xzvf lustre-1.2.4.tar.gz
#quilt setup -l /usr/Jiang/lustre-1.2.4/kernel_patches/series/rhel-2.4.21
-d /usr/Jiang/lustre-1.2.4/kernel_patches/patches/
Creating link to patches directory
/usr/Jiang/lustre-1.2.4/kernel_patches/patches/
Creating link to series file
/usr/Jiang/lustre-1.2.4/kernel_patches/series/rhel-2.4.21
#quilt push -av

4. Make new linux kernel
Set the following valus to ''y'' in ".config", then
make a new linux kernel.
CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y
CONFIG_EXT3_FS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_EXT3_FS_XATTR_SHARING=y
CONFIG_EXT3_FS_XATTR_USER=y
CONFIG_EXT3_FS_XATTR_TRUSTED=y
CONFIG_EXT3_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_JBD=y

5. Install the Lustre
[root@dell-161 lustre-1.2.4]# ./configure
--with-linux=/usr/src/patched-linux-2.4.21-20.EL/
...
...
[root@dell-161 lustre-1.2.4]#make install
...
...
