Re: [Lustre-discuss] lustre on debian
Note also that if there are fixes or patches for Debian builds, I'm happy to get patches to fix that. We do build Lustre clients (2.1-2.5) on Ubuntu 10, but I suspect that there may be some problems building on newer Ubuntu releases.

Re: [Lustre-discuss] lustre on debian
Lustre is not (yet) part of the mainstream kernel so you are not going to find Lustre digging through the linux kernel build process. Thus you see the link below from Thomas on some lustre packages.

Re: [Lustre-discuss] Lustre on Debian
Hi Marinho, no problem for Lustre 1.8. All the necessary packages are here: http://pkg-lustre.alioth.debian.org/backports/lustre-1.8.7-wc1-squeeze/ We've been running Lustre on Debian since version 1.5.9 (aka beta for 1.6, on Sarge! ;-)). Now we are at 3.5 PB, on 200+ servers. No Debian-specific issues. I don't know that anybody has started to work debianizing Lustre 2 yet.

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...

On the client we build packages for Ubuntu, but not on the server. The client packages should build with make deb(s) (can't remember with s or not).

Hi Mario, My solution for the server was to use 'alien' to convert the rpm packages for a) a supported RHEL kernel (eg from CentOS), b) the Lustre packages. I then installed these on my Ubuntu 10.04 servers. Everything appears to work well. Do note, however, that it's probably a good idea to 'hold' the kernel package to prevent Ubuntu updates from switching over to a newer (Ubuntu) kernel.
