[lustre-discuss] dkms process on oracle linux

[Khoi Mai]

Hi

I'm having a difficult time understanding how to build a dkms package and
have it rebuild/load the lustre kernel module when a new OS kernel is
detected.  I'm using oracle linux

4.18.0-477.21.1.el8_8.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Aug 9 09:40:37 PDT 2023 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

ORACLE_BUGZILLA_PRODUCT="Oracle Linux 8"
ORACLE_BUGZILLA_PRODUCT_VERSION=8.8
ORACLE_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="Oracle Linux"
ORACLE_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION=8.8
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.8 (Ootpa)
Oracle Linux Server release 8.8

I have followed
https://wiki.lustre.org/Compiling_Lustre#Lustre_Server_(DKMS_Packages_only
and my path to manage lustre is with the "patchless kernel" method.

My error when I have try to have the rpm installed on a newer
kernel-4.18.0-513.18.1.el8_9.x86_64 building lustre source version 2.15.3


dkms install lustre-ldiskfs/2.15.3

#failed trying to build below.  It appears its trying to apply patches
but its not finding the right version.#
