BUILDING LUSTRE
---------------
-You must already have a Lustre-patched kernel, which is outside of the
-scope of this document. For more information on this process, see the
-web sites below. Also consider downloading a pre-packaged Lustre
-kernel and utilities from http://www.lustre.org/downloads.html
+To build the server components, you must already have a Lustre-patched kernel,
+which is outside of the scope of this document. It is possible to build
+Lustre clients against unpatched kernels. For more information on this
+process, see the web sites below. Also consider downloading a pre-packaged
+Lustre kernel and utilities from http://downloads.whamcloud.com/
To build:
sh autogen.sh
- ./configure --with-linux=/usr/src/lustre_patched_kernel_tree
+ ./configure [--with-linux=/usr/src/kernel_tree if not in a "normal" location]
make
