The "patchless client" is ONLY a client, there is no MDS or OSS support if you build against an unpatched kernel. You always have to have a patched kernel for server support, or download the lustre-patched kernel and RPMs. > >From the tutorials I came to know that > > First, create an MDT for the "spfs" file system that uses the /dev/sda disk. > This MDT also acts as the MGS for the site. > > $ mkfs.lustre --fsname spfs --mdt --mgs /dev/sda > > But by triggering this command my system crashed in which the whole data > is lost and again I need to install the OS. It seems likely that /dev/sda is your root filesystem device. You need to use a dedicated disk/partition for the Lustre MDT, as well a different disk/partition for each OST. You can also use loopback files for testing purposes.
