I like to configure Lustre Serever on a 32 bit ARM system. Where can I download prebuilt binaries packages and its corresponding sources?
I tried rpm files under http://downloads.lustre.org/public/lustre/v1.8/lustre_1.8.5/rhel5-i686/  on linux 2.6.18-194.el5, but there are some unknown symbol, like ldiskfs_free_block, ldiskfs_journal_start_sb, … in fsfilt_ldiskfs.ko.

You are missing the lustre-ldiskfs package.

That said, the lustre.org<http://lustre.org> site only has very ancient versions of Lustre (for reasons too complex to discuss here). You should go to downloads.hpdd.intel.com<http://downloads.hpdd.intel.com> for new versions of Lustre, either 2.1.6 or 2.4.1.

Does  anyone know where to get the complete package and which linux kernel version will match to the package?

There are no pre-built Arm binaries, and I don't know if anyone has ever tried that. The newer versions of Lustre are more likely to build against a newer kernel as is needed for Arm, and any build fixes would only go into the new releases, so that is probably where you want to start.

If you do decide to work on getting builds for Arm please see:

For how to submit patches to be accepted into the tree.
