This should all be documented in the manual.
When you run "configure", it will determine whether to build the client or the server based on whether it detects a Lustre-patched kernel -- there is only one Lustre source. Installing the RPMs for the wrong kernel (2.6.18-164.el52.6.18-164.11.1.0.1.el5) won't help. Building on the client should be as easy as: # cd /usr/src/lustre-1.8.3 # ./configure --with-linux=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build # make rpms (but you may have to add a few RPMs required by the build process) The problem is you pointed your configure at 2.6.18-194.8.1.el5-x86_64, instead of what you are running, which is 2.6.18-164.el5 Alessandro Luccaroni - Diennea wrote: > Hello, > in the last few days i have installed a HA lustre cluster for testing > purpouse. > Everything goes smooth with the patched kernel > (kernel-2.6.18-164.11.1.0.1.el5_lustre.1.8.3.x86_64.rpm) but i can't > find a way to mount the filsesystem with the patchless rpms: > > [r...@lustreclient2 mnt]# mount -t lustre lustremd...@tcp0:/lustre > /mnt/lustre > mount.lustre: mount lustremd...@tcp0:/lustre at /mnt/lustre failed: No > such device > Are the lustre modules loaded? > Check /etc/modprobe.conf and /proc/filesystems > Note 'alias lustre llite' should be removed from modprobe.conf > > In /proc/filesystems i can't find the "lustre" row. > > [r...@lustreclient2 src]# uname -r > 2.6.18-164.el5 > > [r...@lustreclient2 mnt]# ls -l /lib/modules/ > drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jul 7 17:57 2.6.18-164.11.1.0.1.el5 > drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jul 7 17:58 2.6.18-164.el5 > > I think the problem is the different kernel revision, but i can't find > on the Red Hat Network the 2.6.18_164.11.1.0.1.el5 kernel; the closest > one is kernel-2.6.18-164.11.1.el5.x86_64.rpm. > > > I have also tried to build the client rpm from source but in the > /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/ directory i can only find the server-side > rpms (lustre, lustre-debuginfo, lustre-modules, lustre-source, lustre > tests): > > cd /usr/src/lustre-1.8.3 > ./configure --with-linux=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-194.8.1.el5-x86_64 > make rpms > > Sure I'm missing something, can someone help me or point me to some > documentation about building the patchless rpms from source? > _______________________________________________ > Lustre-discuss mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss > _______________________________________________ Lustre-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss
