I've downloaded
http://downloads.lustre.org/public/tools/e2fsprogs/1.41.5.sun2/e2fsprogs-1.41.5.sun2-0redhat.src.rpm
and then made a Debian package for Ubuntu 8.04 adm64 (Thanks for your
documentation at lutre-discuss-list with the subject 'lustre + debian').
This source is already patched.

It seems to work for my installation:

I am using Lustre 1.6.7 from
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=lustre&searchon=names&suite=testing&section=all
and OFED-1.3.1 compiled for kernel 2.6.22.14.
The OSTs are 4 DDN 9900 tiers with Infiniband ports

I had some problems when using e2fsprogs-1.41.5.sun1-patches tarball and
trying to activate 'mmp' by using 'tune2fs -O mmp <device file>' until I
discovered that formating OSTs with the --failnode parameter, the MMP
feature was automatically enabled. Did you have the same problem?
Now, with the latest patches I deactivated (tune2fs -O ^mmp <device
file>) and activated back with no apparent problems, except much more
delay when mounting the first time.

Nowadays I am not yet in production stage

Cheers
