Hi Mario, It can be done, but be prepared to jump through a few hoops for the server side. Client side is pretty straight forward; make debs should give you some userspace debs and a module-assistant package for the client kernel modules. The simplest thing to do for server kernel & modules is to grab the redhat kernel sources and use those to build the server kernel, as detailed here. http://wiki.whamcloud.com/display/PUB/Walk-thru-+Build+Lustre+MASTER+on+RHEL+6.1+from+Whamcloud+git I could not get the rpmbuild -bp step to work correctly using rpm under debian (although I didn't try very hard), so you might want to do that on a centos machine. Once you've patched the kernel you can generate a deb with make-kpkg. I am not sure whether the debian build targets can cope with the server modules at the moment; you might have to install those by hand...
