I am also very interested in Lustre on Ubuntu. Ubuntu on amd64 is our
standard production platform.
We did the something along the following line when testing on ubuntu
dapper amd64:
Grab the 2.6.18 kernel source package from debian etch (and follow the
security updates in etch) and install it.
Grab svn://alioth.debian.org/svn/pkg-lustre (the svn repo for the
debian packages).
Do dpkg-buildpackage to get the debs.
For the servers:
Install the linux-patch-lustre package and build a 2.6.18 lustre
patched kernel suitably configured, if I remember correctly you have
to pass --added-patches lustre to make-kpkg. I recommend to take the
config from a suitable -server ubuntu kernel and use it as baseline
config.
For servers/clients:
Install lustre-modules-source.
Use module-assistant to build the lustre-modules package (patchless on
dapper 2.6.15 should work due to the one missing patch being applied
in the dapper kernel).
Install the rest of the needed debs (lustre, perhaps more) and run
stuff.
This was last tested with 1.5.97 which has 2.6.18-specific patches in
the pkg-lustre tree. I don't know the current state of pkg-lustre
since 1.6 was released. I've heard rumors of an upcoming lustre 1.6
release that will officially support 2.6.18, we're waiting for that
one.
