All: I recently put lustre on debian stable and all is working quite well. For client-side operations (we''re running a mix of openSuSE, SuSE 9.3 and Novell Linux Desktop) are there rpms available to patch the kernel? Searching mailing lists points me towards lustreuser.org, however, that site seems inaccessible. Appreciate any help or pointers. Regards, -- Mustafa A. Hashmi mahashmi@gmail.com mh@stderr.net

I''m no expert at packaging stuff, but it at least builds a lustre package and a lustre-source package that works with module-assistant to build the lustre-modules package containing the kernel modules. I haven''t figured out a good way to ensure that you have the kernel tree and not only the kernel headers, but since my main building environment is to do make-kpkg and having kernel and module-packages built at the same time I haven''t invested more time in it. To build the kernel, I applied the 2.6.12 vanilla-series to the ubuntu breezy 2.6.12 kernel, fixed the obvious rejects and ignored the itanic-specific rejects since we''re an amd64 shop. Oh, the quilt shipped with debian/ubuntu doesn''t work with the lustre build environment. Simply apply each patch in the series file by hand fixing the rejects as you go. I have attached a tarball of the debian-directory, people more clued at debian packaging than me are probably more suited to finish up the work. Ideally I''d like the finished result to be included in the upstream lustre distribution, complete with support in Ubuntu for lustre. According to the Ubuntu people, all needed is for CFS to start churning out kernel patches that apply to the current ubuntu kernel. It''s too late for the upcoming release (Dapper), but for the release after that it should be a reasonable goal. /Nikke -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Niklas Edmundsson, Admin @ {acc,hpc2n}.umu.se | nikke@acc.umu.se --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ROA#48 The bigger the smile, the sharper the knife. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

If anyone is interested in working with Lustre on Dapper, be forewarned: Dapper has replaced udev/hotplug with a new version of udev. A consequence of this is that Dapper is not at all happy about booting a kernel older than 2.6.15 (Lustre patches stop at 2.6.12). Unless you use patchless Lustre or the 2.6.15/2.6.16 patches at http://mrvn.homeip.net/lustre/ for Lustre 1.4.6, your Lustre kernel will not boot properly (Dapper will refuse to make an initramfs for a kernel older than 2.6.15). There is a workaround, however. If you install "yaird" and add "ramdisk = /usr/sbin/mkinitrd.yaird" to your /etc/kernel-img.conf, installing your kernel deb will create an initramfs which should boot successfully. Unlike initramfs-tools, yaird doesn''t use udev to figure out your hardware, so you may need to add some modules, such as e1000, to your /etc/modules for your machine to be happy. Of course, 2.6.15 patches (or higher) would be preferred. *Hint hint, nudge nudge* ;-) Good strong patchless (or nearly patchless) support, would be even better...

Hi Niklas, Is the attached agreement acceptable to your organization?

Hi,
I cannot find the forum you spoke about
"I took over the ITP that was abandoned but I don''t have anything
functional yet.
I''m applying for an alioth project for it so anyone interested can then
join in.
MfG
Goswin"
Is it still active?
