Subject: Re: [Lustre-discuss] Lustre 1.6.0.1 in Ubuntu Fiesty

See here:

http://www.pci.uni-heidelberg.de/tc/usr/bernd/downloads/lustre/1.6/

This should support up to linux-2.6.21, though I still do most tests with
2.6.20.

After I finished the install instructions above,
I tried to mount the lustre file system on MDS server, but failed..
Here are the commands and the error messages:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# mkfs.lustre --fsname=spfs --mdt --mgs /dev/hdb
  Permanent disk data:
Target:     spfs-MDTffff
Index:      unassigned
Lustre FS:  spfs
Mount type: ldiskfs
Flags:      0x75
             (MDT MGS needs_index first_time update )
Persistent mount opts: errors=remount-ro,iopen_nopriv,user_xattr
Parameters:

mkfs.lustre: Unable to mount /dev/hdb: No such device
Is the ldiskfs module available?

mkfs.lustre FATAL: failed to write local files
mkfs.lustre: exiting with 19 (No such device)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

It seems the ldiskfs module does not load correctly.
Could anyone help?

Thanks~~~


I'm using Ubuntu Feisty as testing/development system and with unionfs-fuse
(shameless self-advertisement ;) ) also as diskless server.

If you are using an amd64-system I could also upload debs of the utils.


Cheers,
Bernd
