Great thanks !   .. So I took mpss_gold_update_3-2.1.6720-19 source,
plus the master branch by doing a

"git clone git://git.whamcloud.com/fs/lustre-release.git"

The "configure" seems to run fine but "make rpms" wants two non-exist
files as the following:

RPM build errors:
    File not found:
/root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/lustre-client-mic-2.4.93-2.6.38.8_g2593b11_g26c55b2.x86_64/opt/lustre/2.4.93/x86_64-k1om-linux/usr/bin/mcreate
    File not found:
/root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/lustre-client-mic-2.4.93-2.6.38.8_g2593b11_g26c55b2.x86_64/opt/lustre/2.4.93/x86_64-k1om-linux/usr/bin/munlink

Do I have any workaround ? I would prefer the master branch, instead
of going back to 2.4, if all possible.

Thanks,
Wendy
