Yes, and it seemed to work OK, but I haven't done extensive testing yet.
   The procedure I used was (more or less) as follows:

cd lustre-1.8.2
./configure --disable-server
--with-o2ib=/usr/src/kernels/linux-2.6.18-194.el5
--with-linux=/usr/src/kernels/linux-2.6.18-194.el5 --enable-quota
--disable-lru-resize

Note: I am not sure if all the bugs have been worked out of
     "lru-resize", so we are not using it right now.
     Please chime in with other recommendations.

make -j 8
mkdir -p rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS}
echo "%_topdir `pwd`/rpmbuild" > ~/.rpmmacros
make rpms
rm -f ~/.rpmmacros
cd rpmbuild
rpm -e lustre-tests-1.8.1.1
rpm -Uvh RPMS/x86_64/lustre{,-debuginfo,-modules}-1.8.2*.rpm


Hope this helps,
Nathan
