<span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">Dear George,</span>
<br>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">I sat down and updated it for Rocky at some point:</span>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">https://github.com/DetlevCM/lustre-build-instructions</span>
<br>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">I need to find the time and motivation to work on updating it for the Wiki.</span>
<br>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">Every kernel has its own version number and patches: you may well be able to adapt it to Ubuntu, but it will be yet more work.</span>
<br>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">In my experience, building the client is very straightforward and shouldn't cause any issues. It is building the patched kernel and server that can be tricky - though this is only for ext4, not zfs if I am remembering things correctly.</span>
<br>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">Kind regards </span>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">Detlev</span>

I'd appreciate it if anyone could share the latest build guidance(server and client) for user and developers.

Hi Guys,

I'm a beginner of Lustre and kernel development. Spend weeks to figure out how to build Lustre server from source code. But reach nowhere.

The wiki is for RHEL7, which is too old. Although, RHEL subscription is expensive.

Maybe Ubuntu is a better choice for me? There is a confluence page for building with ldiskfs, not zfs. Maybe zfs is simpler? I'm not sure.

My goal is being able to contribute to Lustre, so I need to build from source code. Official RPMs doesn't matches AWS AMI kernel version, that's an other reason.
