Richard,

To include the rpms in my LFS is not a problem, I can do. But as a suggestion I think that the developers should prioritize neutral distribution. My LFS doesn't use even linux-util, I replaced to busybox. The idea is to have the Linux+Lustre as kind of embedded, only packages that absolutely necessary will be installed.

Another thing is about kernel. Is not possible to have Lustre for kernel 3.10 and above? There are great features starting with version 3.10 to do improvements for multi-core that it's not available in any version below that.

Thank you for your reply.

'make rpms' will give you an rpms to install, so you'll need to add rpm
onto your Linux from Scratch.

make install

may be a better choice in your case... And if it is, you probably want
to review and contribute to this issue:
