[Lustre-discuss] patchless client on kernel 2.6.25

[Saber Feki]

Thank you Tamas,

Actually, I'm trying to compile the lustre patchless client version 1.6.5.1.
Was is the same for you or you did it on a different lustre version.

I downloaded 2.6.27.tar.gz which contains all the patches I guess and
then used quilt to apply them and this is what I got.

node01:~/lustre-1.6.5.1 # quilt push -afqv
The topmost patch patches/loop-cleanup.diff needs to be refreshed first.
node01:~/lustre-1.6.5.1 # quilt refresh
Nothing in patch patches/loop-cleanup.diff

This patch (/loop-cleanup.diff) is just one line of code, so I did it
manually.
Still got errors in the compilation.

Then, I realized that some of the patches in the tar.gz are posted again
in new versions?
Should I updates then the patches in the patch directory with the newest
ones ?
Should I after that apply the other patches which comes after in the
bugzilla page ?

Thanks in advance
Saber
