I've compiled and ran lustre with vanilla kernel 2.6.12 and SUSE 2.6.16 with e2fsprogs-1.39+1.40-WIP-2006.11.14+dfsg-2 without any problems or issues. I tried installing the Lustre debs on etch, but there were broken dependencies and there is no way I'm going to run unstable in my production environment. Our NFS server was too hammered and I had to put something in quick to relieve the NFS server and keep our jobs from going to pot. I tried to download the source packages, but getting them to compile seemed more difficult then getting the lustre tar to compile, or even aliening the SUSE packages that had everything patched already. Now that the fire is put out, I'll look more into building from source.
I've been running beta5 and 1.6.0 on etch for a couple of weeks. I've only been working with lustre for a couple of weeks so far though. Seems solid and we haven't run into any problems thus far.
