The appropriate modules are loaded automatically, on demand, when "mount
-t lustre" is given. The only reason llmount (and more generally the
test-framework.sh) tries to load from a local dir is because certain CFS
developers don't like to copy their in-development modules into the
place where they are _supposed_ to live (/lib/modules/`uname -r`/).
No script is needed in the "normal" case (rpms or 'make install')

Hi Nathan,
Have we considered making the module loading an option to mount.lustre -
e.g.
mount -t lustre -o moddir=/foo/bar ....
To make the shell script almost go away. I think this would be very nice.

Subject: Re: [Lustre-discuss] Configure 1.6 beta
The script lustre/tests/llmount.sh will load the modules from
the local build dir and start a small Lustre fs on a single
node. You can change many of options by overriding the
values set in lustre/tests/cfg/local.sh if e.g. you want to
use real disks.
But eventually you need to put the modules in the appropriate
place for the kernel to find them if you ever want to do
anything else.
lustre/utils/module_setup.sh does this for you, and modifies
/etc/modprobe.conf for a basic tcp LNET setup.

Hi,
I'm new to Lustre and trying to evaluate 1.6 beta. My first
goal is to
setup a single node system. I'm following the MountConf
manual and a
bit confused by the section "Module setup" (not sure where to find
utils/module_setup, and which "make all" it's talking about). Do I
really need to do anything here? Or can I just run mkfs.lustre and
mount to get the system up and running?
Thanks
