+Here is an short explanation what to install on your Servers to set up
+Lustre quickly. Be aware that this doesn't replace the Documentation
+and Installation Howtos from Lustre.
#1. Building the kernel and the modules
- You've to download the linux-source-2.6.18|21|22 package and the linux-patch-lustre package.
+ You've to download the linux-source package for your kernel and
+ the linux-patch-lustre package.
- Then patch your kernel with the correct patch file. Build and install it. (Use make-kpkg)
- To patch the kernel automatically use --added-patches=lustre as build option.

- Here is the full line how I build my kernel (for those who are not familiar with make-kpkg)
- make-kpkg --added-patches=lustre --initrd --append-to-version "-quota-enabled-lustre-1.6.4.1" --revision credativ.1 kernel_image

- Now reboot into this new kernel and install the lustre modules with:
+ Now reboot into this new kernel and install the Lustre modules with:
- m-a auto-install lustre
Then the kernel and the modules should be there.
In the next step install:
- lustre-utils
- Then load the kernel modules with:
- - modprobe lnet
- - modprobe lustre
- - modprobe ldiskfs
-
This have to be done on every server system.
#3. Creating partitions on the OST/MDT/MGS Servers
- OST: mkfs.lustre --fsname spfs --ost --mgsnode=$mgsnode@tcp0 $device
Additional options are:
- --reformat - this partition was previously formated with lustre, reformat it
- --param="failover.mode=failout" - don't hang the complete fs if a ost isn't available.
+ --reformat - this partition was previously formatted with lustre, reformat it
+ --param="failover.mode=failout" - don't hang the entire fs if an ost isn't available.
- Now mount the partitons on the servers:
- first the MDT/MGS Server:
#4. Using the filesystem
- In order to use the FS, you'll have to mount it on a client. Please note that this client also
- needs the lustre-modules to be installed. (You can install lustre-source and build the module
- as described in 1.)

- mount -t lustre mgsnode@tcp0:/spfs /mnt
-#4.1 Using Quota:
-
- The binaries and drivers for lustre in debian are compiled with enabled-quota.
- So if you like to use quota this is quite simple:
- - lfs quotacheck -ug $path/to/mounted/lustre/fs
- - lfs setquota -u $user 1000 2000 10000 20000 $path/to/mounted/lustre/fs
- - lfs quota -u $user $path/to/mounted/lustre/fs
-
- If you want to reset this quota informations for a given user, you'll have first to
- set every value to zero, and then give the new informations:
- - lfs setquota -u $user 0 0 0 0 $path/to/mounted/lustre/fs
- - lfs setquota -u $user 2000 3000 3000 4000 $path/to/mounted/lustre/fs
-
- This behaviour is reported as lustre bug: https://bugzilla.lustre.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14513
