Hi all, I am working with aoetools and vblade attempting to bootstrap a debian server onto an AoE volume.
When testing with vblade and aoetools on the same machine using the "lo" device, it seems they are competing for the same /dev/ space. To test this: # rmmod aoe (get rid of aoe and udev messing with dev space) # vblade-persist setup 1 1 lo /dev/host_storage/vmhost1 # vblade-persist start 1 1 # ls -l /dev/etherd/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Mar 16 13:46 e1.1 -> /dev/host_storage/vmhost1 # modprobe aoe # ls -l /dev/etherd/ total 0 c-w--w---- 1 root disk 152, 3 Mar 16 13:52 discover brw-rw---- 1 root disk 152, 272 Mar 16 13:52 e1.1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 152, 273 Mar 16 13:52 e1.1p1 cr--r----- 1 root disk 152, 2 Mar 16 13:52 err c-w--w---- 1 root disk 152, 6 Mar 16 13:52 flush c-w--w---- 1 root disk 152, 4 Mar 16 13:52 interfaces c-w--w---- 1 root disk 152, 5 Mar 16 13:52 revalidate The important thing to note here is that the original block device pointer that vblade produced got trampled by the aoetools new block device. This appears to result in the block not working at all, or intermittently going read-only in the middle of a copy operation, etc.. I am using debian squeeze as the platform. I read some bug resolution reports saying that exporting to same machine was fixed and possible is this not true?
