[Lustre-discuss] Lustre 1.8 client on RedHat 7

[Zachary Beebleson]

Just wondering if anyone tried to build a Lustre 1.8 client on a RedHat 7 
system (I believe I saw some chatter about building a Lustre 2+ client on 
el7). I have a legacy Lustre 1.8.4 file system, that I did not chance to 
upgrade to Lustre 2+, and I'd like to mount it on new RedHat 7 computes. 
On a RedHat 6 system a Whamcloud Lustre 1.8.7 client worked, but I was 
not able to get a Lustre 1.8.* Whamcloud rpm to install on RHEL7 --- too 
many old dependencies. I also tried to do a rpm --rebuild, but kept 
getting build errors such as:

----------------------------------------
....

RPM build errors:

---------------------------------------

both for Lustre 1.8 client source rpms and Lustre 2.5 (on a RHEL7 system).

Thanks,
