I have downloaded the source RPMs from http://downloads.whamcloud.com/public/lustre/lustre-2.1.6/el6/server/SRPMS/

My  understanding is that this kernel is not yet patched.  Is this correct?

To patch this,

I have set up the following links:

#  ls -ld patches/ series

drwxr-xr-x 2 tsadmin tsadmin 4096 Jun 22  2013 patches/

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root    root      77 Jun 20 18:25 series -> /root/lustre-2.1.6/lustre-2.1.6/lustre/kernel_patches/series/2.6-rhel6.series

And I ran the following command:

# quilt push -av 2>&1 | tee quilt.log

And, it gets the following error:

Applying patch patches/lustre_version.patch

The next patch would create the file include/linux/lustre_version.h,

which already exists!  Applying it anyway.

patching file include/linux/lustre_version.h

Hunk #1 FAILED at 1.

1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- rejects in file include/linux/lustre_version.h

Restoring include/linux/lustre_version.h

Patch patches/lustre_version.patch can be reverse-applied

Restoring include/linux/lustre_version.h

This is really strange.  It means that the source RPM on the Whamcloud web site already includes lustre_version.h, which makes it look like it is already patched.  But, it does not have the other patches !

Can someone please explain this?
