[Lustre-discuss] Selective e2fsprogs installation on Ubuntu

[Ramiro Alba Queipo]

Hi everybody:

I've just compiled the last patched e2fsprogs (1.41.10) package suitable
for the last lustre version (1.8.3) and I had some booting problems when
overriding some existing files in original packages (Ubuntu LTS 10.04),
so I thought it would be better to install only the needed programs from
patched e2fsprogs:

Clients:
--------

Only 'lfsck' (compiled with --with-lustre=_LUSTRE_SOURCE_DIR_) is useful

Servers:
--------

mke2fs -> called by 'mkfs.lustre'
e2fsck -> not called by lustre but needed to check a failed MDT/OST so
it can be installed as other name
tune2fs -> called by tunefs.lustre?/can be installed as a not existing
program
dumpe2fs -> useful but not essential?

Please, tell me if I am missing/misunderstanding  something?

Cheers
