Nathan, would you and/or Mandar be willing to incorporate the below steps into the
"make debs" build target of the Lustre master branch?
While we don't maintain Debian or Ubuntu builds ourselves, it does seem like there is
an increasing interest in this, and I hate seeing people having to rediscover the same
problems and struggle to fix them each time.
At one point, I also thought that there was a Lustre client in the Debian unstable repo,
but is that no longer the case? I don't see that as removing the reason to getting
"make debs" to work in the master branch, since there will always be people who
want to try the latest code instead of waiting for the Debian/Ubuntu repo to be updated.
Cheers, Andreas

Hello Mandar,
I recently did some work with 2.6 as a client on ubuntu 12.04. These are some of the
steps that were taken below:
apt-get source module-assistant
cd module-assistant
# Get the patches from the following pages
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=702648
# save detection.patch
http://debian.2.n7.nabble.com/Bug-697269-FTBS-with-uapi-patched-module-as...
# save parsing.patch
patch < detection.patch
patch < parsing.patch
sudo apt-get build-dep module-assistant
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc
cd ../
sudo dpkg -i module-assistant-0.14.deb
Then you can take a look at LU-1706<https://jira.hpdd.intel.com/browse/LU-1706>;,
which explains build script patching that must take place, even on newer versions of
Ubuntu.
Once that is done, follow these steps to build the client. For your build, you will want
to build the server as well.
cd lustre-release
git checkout v2_6_0
sh ./autogen.sh
./configure --disable-server --disable-iokit --disable-tests
make debs
cd debs
sudo dpkg -i lustre-client-modules-3.11.0-15-generic_2.6.0-1_amd64.deb
lustre-utils_2.6.0-1_amd64.deb
Hopefully that helps.

Hi,
I have 2 questions regarding building and installing Lustre server on
Ubuntu. We have a running Lustre setup on RHEL and now trying to build and install on
Ubuntu.
1. Whether latest Lustre (2.6+) server can be built on Ubuntu with the same steps
as for RHEL? Or are there different steps for Ubuntu.
2. Has anyone tried this before and/or Whether Lustre2.6.x server is supported on
Ubuntu.
3. In another experiment, I took my RHEL working rpms (patched kernel & lustre)
and converted them to .deb packages using “alien”. I could install all rpms and then could
also boot into my lustre-patched-kernel. I am able to mkfs.lustre my MGS (and even could
mount it) But mkfs.lustre for MDT fails.
a. First it gave errors like “Invalid filesystem option set”. So I installed
e2fsprogs-1.42.7.wc1-7.el6.x86_64.rpm and e2fsprogs-libs-1.42.7.wc1-7.el6.x86_64.rpm
(which I had used for my RHEL) using “alien”
b. After this now it gives me another error, “Filesystem has unsupported feature(s)
while setting up superblock”. I found similar issue
athttps://www.mail-archive.com/pkg-lustre-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian...
. I am NOT getting message “Your mke2fs.conf file does not define the ldiskfs filesystem
type.”. Still tried solution suggested in the next mail, which did not work. Even links
for ldiskfsprogs are not working to try. Do I need some other version of e2fsprogs?
Can anyone throw light on this ?
Thanks,
Mandar Joshi
