Does anyone have Lustre working with recent versions of OpenVZ?
I tried to build Lustre 1.8 against the current OpenVZ kernel
(2.6.32-042stab076.5). I get lots of warnings like this:
cc1: warnings being treated as errors

The underlying difference between the stock RH kernel and the OpenVZ kernel
is this:
[root@gb240:/usr/local/src/lustre-release] diff
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-279.5.2.el6.x86_64/include/linux/fs_struct.h
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-042stab076.5/include/linux/fs_struct.h
8c8
< rwlock_t lock;
---
spinlock_t lock;
When I turned off -Werrors and built anyway the modules loaded, filesystems
mounted, I could create and view files but any attempt to do a 'chmod'
panicked the kernel (probably not surprising since linux/fs_struct.h is
different, and chmod probably required a lock).
1.9 branch shows similar behaviour. I tried to build the most recent
version (2.3.63) and get a completely different build error:

Is there a trick, or should I just abandon this as a lost cause?
