Hi,

I'm trying to bring up Lustre 1.6.0.1 on RHEL4 U4 using the downloaded
rpms,  but the mkfs.lustre command keeps failing (see below).  Evidently
it cannot find ldiskfs (the /dev/hdc1 shows up in fdisk as a valid Linux
83 partition).  The manual/archives don't seem to have much on this --
any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
Ed Nadolski

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# mkfs.lustre --fsname spfs --mdt --mgs /dev/hdc1

Is the ldiskfs module available?
