[Lustre-discuss] Compile lustre 1.8.4 errors+centos 5.5

[Wojciech Turek]

Hi Alfonso,

looking at 1.8.4 download page I can see that originally it was build
against 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 kernel whereas you are trying to build against *
* 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5, so the difference maybe enough to break build
process. Anyway as Tina said you can run mix of 1.8.4 and 1.8.5 clients.
Also if you building a Lustre client you don't have to patch the kernel.
In case you are building lustre server I would recommend to use Lustre 1.8.5
and kernel which comes with it. You can run different Lustre version on the
clients and servers (for example 1.8.5 servers and 1.8.4 clients or mix of
1.8.4 and 1.8.5 clients) as long as all the Lustre servers are running the
same version.

Best regards,

Wojciech
