[lustre-discuss] Kernel Module Build

[Andreas Dilger]

You can typically do the simple steps:

 - checkout Lustre release (4.14 probably needs the 2.12.0 release, but maybe
   2.10.6 will also work)
 - sh autogen.sh
 - ./configure
 - make rpms

You have to have the kernel-headers package installed for the target kernel,
along with the proper .config file.

I was relying on the 4.14 kernel build but the lustre code in the staging directory there is quite old and disappears completely in 4.18.  So now I need to do an out of tree build for Lustre.  Also, the target kernel is not running on the build system.
