Lustre discuss - Jun 2009 - Error while compiling Lustre client from 1.8.0 source

I am having trouble building the Lustre client from source-- 
lustre-1.8.0.tar.gz under the latest Redhat Kernel. Could someone let me 
know if there is patch available to fix this problem.

[root at cc2 lustre-1.8.0]# ./configure 
--with-linux=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-128.1.10.el5-x86_64 --disable-snmp 
--enable-quota --disable-server

[root at cc2 lustre-1.8.0]# make
....

Lustre 1.8.0 doesn''t support this kernel.  You will have to either
apply
patches or wait for 1.8.0.1.

FYI, 1.8.0.1 just finished testing, so it should be available on the
download site very soon.

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for the update. I just downloaded the latest(1.8.0.1) version of 
Lustre and was able to install the Lustre-patched kernel and patch-less 
clients on 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5-x86_64 kernel without any problems.

I am currently working on pushing out the new client version to all the 
worker nodes(126 clients connected through GigE) and to enable quotas on 
this Lustre file system. I will let you know if I run into any more 
troubles during this upgrage process.
