I've seen this on RHEL6.0, suspect that it also affects RHEL6.1

Description

If you execute a make rpm with first doing a make you will observe the following error:

...
+ /bin/rm -rf /home/build/kernel/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/lustre-iokit-1.2-201110211941.x86_64
+ exit 0

Yes, it affects RHEL6.1 on me.

Hmmm, the title line suggested if you do a make first before 'make rpm', you will be fine. But then the description section seems imply otherwise?

I ran into the error yesterday trying to build 2.1 on rhel6.1 by doing 'make rpm'
first without doing a 'make'. So, I did a 'make' followed by a 'make rpm' and it
worked for me! My experience confirmed what the title of this bug suggested.

I have seen this on CentOS 5.X as well

I believe that there was some patch landed on the orion branch which solved this problem with Module.symvers.

Brian, is there a patch pending landing on master as well?

I saw the same issue happened when I was trying to build Lustre 2.1 client on Ubuntu 10.04.

I have updated the walk-thru:

The workaround (issue a make before make rpm) is now included.

At some point in the past, this bug got fixed and is no-longer present.
