Hi guys,
I'm trying to set up Luster on Debian (server clients). Any hints out
there?
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.

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...
Cheers,
Guy
