lustre client does not update properly on ubuntu 22
0
Typically when I update my ubuntu servers I have to reinstall the lustre client per the documentation or the FSx lustre volume no longer mounts.
This time, as expected, the mount failed after an OS update and I followed the doc above for ubuntu 22. When I try to mount the fsx volume, I get this error:
mount.lustre: mount fs-xxxxxxxxxxx.fsx.us-east-2.amazonaws.com@tcp:/xxxxx at /mcb failed: No such device
Are the lustre modules loaded?
Check /etc/modprobe.conf and /proc/filesystems
The filesystem is available and mounts to amazon linux servers. The fragility of the ubuntu lustre client is an ongoing issue for me.
Thanks, is there a way to know when a new kernel is or is not supported? The AWS documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fsx/latest/LustreGuide/install-lustre-client.html
gives no indication that 5.19 is not supported. It says: "The Lustre client on Ubuntu 22.04 requires kernel 5.15.0-1015-aws or later..."
If your compute instance isn't running the Linux kernel specified in the installation instructions, and you can't change the kernel, you can build your own Lustre client. Additional details:

For client kernel compatibility, you can reference the compatibility matrix at the end of the installation page:
