Ok, I am getting http://downloads.lustre.org/public/kernels/sles11/linux-2.6.27.39-0.3.1.tar.bz2 but, please. Where can I get a suitable config file to apply both for servers and clients? > thought that there were Debian packages for Lustre, why not use those? Yes. I used them at the beginning, but after lustre 1.8.0.1 vanilla servers are not any more supported to be used as servers and I started to use RH5 kernels with lustre-1.8.1.1, both for clients and servers. In my case using Ubuntu 10.04 with kernel 2.6.32 NOT suported as a lustre patchless client, I prefer using an only kernel for the whole cluster, do I? Thanks for your answer.
