[lustre-discuss] Installation of Lustre server lustre-2.15.5-1.el8

[Pati, Abhilasha]

Hallo 😊,

I need another help in understanding this issue.

I am trying to install lustre 2.15.5 on 4.18.0-553.5.1.el8_10.x86_64...and when i am trying to install the rpm binary  "lustre-osd-ldiskfs-mount", i get the following error..


[######~]$ sudo rpm -i lustre-osd-ldiskfs-mount-2.15.5-1.el8.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
    ldiskfsprogs >= 1.45.6.wc1 is needed by lustre-osd-ldiskfs-mount-2.15.5-1.el8.x86_64

Please note, i already have e2fsprogs on my machine....which is what ldiskfsprogs is called after 1.45.6

[###### ~]$ sudo dnf list installed | grep e2fsprogs
e2fsprogs.x86_64                            1.45.6-7.el8_10                           @anaconda
e2fsprogs-devel.x86_64                      1.45.6-7.el8_10                           @gsi-rocky-base
e2fsprogs-libs.x86_64                       1.45.6-7.el8_10                           @anaconda

Please let me know what my mistake here is....
I have already installed lustre-ldiskfs-dkms-2.15.5-1.el8.noarch.rpm

MfG
Abhilasha

I guess you need to explain whether you are trying to install the binary RPM modules (Lustre 2.15.5 RPM packages are available for 4.18.0-553.5.1 at
https://build.whamcloud.com/job/lustre-b2_15/94/arch=x86_64,build_type=server,distro=el8.10,ib_stack=inkernel/artifact/artifacts/RPMS/x86_64/)
or if you are trying to build your own packages using DKMS?

Installing the binary RPMs is *much* easier, in which case you don't need
the DKMS packages at all.

If you are building your own packages then you should use 2.15.8 since it
contains a lot more fixes than installing 2.15.5 on a new system.

Cheers, Andreas
