Just wondering if anyone tried to build a Lustre 1.8 client on a
RedHat 7
system (I believe I saw some chatter about building a Lustre 2+ client on el7).
I have a legacy Lustre 1.8.4 file system, that I did not chance to upgrade to
Lustre 2+, and I'd like to mount it on new RedHat 7 computes. On a RedHat 6
system a Whamcloud Lustre 1.8.7 client worked, but I was not able to get a
Lustre 1.8.* Whamcloud rpm to install on RHEL7 --- too many old dependencies. I
also tried to do a rpm --rebuild, but kept getting build errors such as:
There are way to many changes needed to support a 3.10 kernel. Take a look at
LU-812 just to see the changes needed to support a 3.0 kernel. We had a file
Lustre 1.8 system that was successfully upgraded to 2.4 version.
