[LU-6393] dkms build of client modules requires zfs/spl libraries

• Type: Improvement

• Environment: SL 6.6

Description

The recent release of the 2.7.0 client includes support for dkms which is great however the dkms.conf should probably disable zfs/spl requirements among others. We have been using dkms with the Lustre client for a few years now and have used the following for the client modules only:

PRE_BUILD="configure
--prefix=/usr
--with-linux=${kernel_source_dir}
--with-linux-obj=${kernel_source_dir}
--without-ldiskfs
--without-zfs
--without-sysio
--without-lustre-iokit
--disable-snmp
--disable-doc
--disable-utils
--disable-tests
--disable-maintainer-mode
--disable-server

Perhaps someone may wish to review and alter the client side dkms packages.

Eric

Bruno,
Could you please take this one?
Thank you!

This may come from the fact that only the patch to build a Lustre Server DKMS RPM has already landed.
My patch at http://review.whamcloud.com/12347/ to allow for the build of a specific Lustre Client DKMS RPM should be what you expect, can you have a look to it? Unfortunately it still has not landed but should after some rebase/merge work I can+will quickly work on!
