After weeks of trial and error, I think I may have shined at least a
little bit of light on a problem I've been having installing fink,
and am wondering if anyone can possibly shed a little more.
Here's my situation. I have a couple servers that share a common
filesystem (located on a RAID, via nfs mount) called Asgard. My goal
is to install fink on this volume (/Asgard/shared/sw) so that all
associated machines may use the applications and libraries installed
via fink. I first tried installing fink on /Asgard/shared/sw from
server #1 with no success. Eventually I just installed it at the
default /sw on server #1 and it worked fine. I then tried installing
fink on /Asgard/shared/sw from server #2 with no success, and again
it seems to install fine on the local disk. I'm starting to guess
that nfs has something to do with this. This is further reinforced
by the fact that when I try to remove /Asgard/shared/sw, I often get
interrupted by an error about a stale NFS file handle.
The odd thing is that I've managed to do this exact thing before on a
different setup (basically we recently redid our server landscape and
swapped out the old RAID with a new one). Installation runs until I
fail 1 of the 163 tests (./Config/load_save). I've taken a look at
this test script and while I code in perl quite a bit, I'm not very
good at interpreting tests like this.
So, does anyone out there have experience with (any problems)
installing fink on an nfs shared volume? Can anyone tell me what
this Config/load_save test is all about, what a likely culprit might
be for its failure? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
In the meantime I'll be hammering away at this.
Thanks,
-Andrew
