I have intalled every needed packaged (1.8.0) and I''m running the
patched
kernel.
I don''t uniderstand the e2fsprogs warning because I installed the last
version (1.4.0).
modprobe ldiskfs works ok. Why mkfs.lustre doesn''t have permission to
write!?

Thank you.

I don''t think there''s any 1.4.0 version on our download site.
You
should really
install our e2fsprogs package which includes support for uninit_bg:
http://downloads.lustre.org/public/tools/e2fsprogs/1.40.11.sun1/

Cheers,
