It is critical, unless you use ZFS as a backend instead of ldiskfs. In
that case, you don't need it at all.

It's EXT4 derived.
It's possible to mount individual Lustre targets as ldiskfs, and is
occasionally necessary for troubleshooting. (So, it's a critical server
component.)

Ahh,
modprobe does work for those, so I suppose it is ok. So what role
does that package play in the lustre file system? If it isn't necessary
for the mds/mdt or the ost systems then I'll pull it.
w/r,

Kurt,
The ll_* errors, at least, are normal. The install order is such that
some symbols are undefined at install time for particular KOs, but are
defined in KOs that are installed later.
I am not familiar with the ldiskfs unknown symbol errors, but I haven't
installed the exact RPMs you're installing either.
If you can modprobe ldiskfs and fsfilt-ldiskfs after completing the
install, then these are probably the same as the ll_* - Undefined at
install time, but defined by later KOs.
