4. Apply the patch.

   patch -p1 < v4-0001-Separate-socket-operations-in-the-kernel-space.patch

5. Build and generate RPM packages.

   make package-rpm PACKAGE_DIR=packages BEEGFS_VERSION=7.2.2 RPMBUILD_OPTS="-D 'MAKE_CONCURRENCY <n>'"

   

   In the command in 5, <n> indicates the number of concurrent processes. Set this parameter based on the actual CPU configuration. Example:

   make package-rpm PACKAGE_DIR=packages BEEGFS_VERSION=7.2.2 RPMBUILD_OPTS="-D 'MAKE_CONCURRENCY 8'"

6. Copy the generated RPM packages to the /root/v7-7.2.2 directory.

   cp -r /root/v7-7.2.2/packages/RPMS/aarch64/* /root/v7-7.2.2
   cp -r /root/v7-7.2.2/packages/RPMS/noarch/* /root/v7-7.2.2
