I suspect it might be a string format change that's affecting a step in the build process you gave.
At first glance, I'd say manually verify the output of this step from compile.sh: # Extract lustre version, replace "_" by "." and remove leading letter "v". LUSTRE_VERSION=$(echo `git describe` | sed -e "s/_/\./g" | cut -c2-) It's possible the info provided by git describe changed slightly and the sed and cut commands don't match up any more. You could fix them or set it manually.

We have a few webservers running Debian that need to access the storage. I followed the procedure given by Thomas Stibor about Ubuntu 14 last year. I could successfully compile the binaries and modules after some digging. He also left an already compiled lustre 2.7.63 and modules for kernel 3.16.0-4 online. If I install his binaries, it works well. If I install the one generated by the procedure, the modules don't load and a weird thing happen. Running dmesg warns me about one surprising thing : > With his packages [212417.535369] LNet: HW CPU cores: 1, npartitions: 1 [212417.538430] alg: No test for adler32 (adler32-zlib) [212417.538456] alg: No test for crc32 (crc32-table) [212425.548907] Lustre: Lustre: Build Version: v2_7_60_0-ge686e57-CHANGED-3.16.0-4-amd64 [212425.565330] LNet: Added LNI 172.27.7.118@tcp1 [8/256/0/180] [212425.565354] LNet: Accept secure, port 988 [212425.595531] Lustre: Mounted lustre-client > With mine [209942.090874] LNet: HW CPU cores: 1, npartitions: 1 [209942.092902] alg: No test for adler32 (adler32-zlib) [209950.092501] lnet: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.

Why the shown version of the module is 2.3 ? I tried to compile from the 2.7 branch but the 2.7.0 version doesn't compile with kernel 3.16, as suggested in LU-7042 I probably miss something. Sorry I'm not familiar with compilers (usually the ./configure && make && make install works or warns you about missing dependencies and i don't go farther). Thank you Jerome PS : Here is the procedure followed to compile apt-get install linux-headers-3.16.0-4-amd64 libtool automake linux-source-3.16 git clone git://git.whamcloud.com/fs/lustre-release.git cd /usr/src/ tar xf linux-source-3.16.tar.xz cd /home/build/lustre-release/ vi debian/rules (edit so it doesn't stop with autogen because it doesn't find the kernel sources) (modify --with-linux= option with current path --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-3.16 in kdist_config section) aptitude install module-assistant libreadline-dev debhelper dpatch libsnmp-dev quilt devscripts vi debian/control (modify the dependency for unsatisfied linux-headers called linux-headers-something in jessie) vi compile.sh #!/bin/bash unset DEBEMAIL unset EMAIL unset DEBFULLNAME unset NAME export DEBFULLNAME="Niemand Nobody" export EMAIL="npcomplete at example.com" # Extract lustre version, replace "_" by "." and remove leading letter "v".
