Keith reported that the lustre userspace tools RPM requires the kmod-lustre package to be installed even when using the lustre-dkms generated modules. The lustre-2.9.50_1_g49d7617 RPM package Requires kmod-lustre = 2.9.50_1_g49d7617 dependency (for example). This means that the user tools can't be used easily with the lustre-dkms package. I'm not sure what the right solution is - either the lustre-dkms package Provides kmod-lustre with the appropriate version, or lustre requires only a generic package like lustre-modules >= some version or similar. At some point, we won't even be able to Require lustre-modules or kmod-lustre, since the modules in the upstream kernel RPM will not provide this component. Maybe we should just remove the link between the kernel modules and the userspace tools, and just ensure that the kernel components trigger the right dependencies (i.e. lustre-osd-zfs Requires lustre-osd-zfs-mount, which I think works today) to ensure people install the right packages.
