Bernd,

I have downloaded the file you suggested for 2.6.20+ and I am at a stand still with the following issues:

1. After patching the 2.6.20 vanilla kernel and configuring lustre: ./ configure --disable-liblustre --disable-tests and then running I make I recieve:
make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.20'
  CC [M]  /root/lustre-1.6.0.1-rc1-ql6/lnet/libcfs/linux/linux-proc.o

make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/lustre-1.6.0.1-rc1-ql6'
make: *** [all] Error 2make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/ linux-2.6.20'

I tried patching against 2.6.22 but I received some errors in the quilt push -av process which I will post later. Additionally the configure process complains about not having a definition for 2.6.22 in "lustre/autoconf/lustre-core.m4"

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for the quick reply Bernd,

I have not put any valuable data on the filesystem yet, so no worries
about data loss, just 1.2T of zeros.
How can I disable extents and mballoc? is it a ../configure option?
I am away from the machines right now or I would check myself.

On the OSSs

1.) umount {ost-mountpoint}
2.) tunefs.lustre --mountfsoptions="" /dev/{ost-device}
3.) mount {ost-mountpoint}

would there a big performance loss and if so does the CFS team suggests a
patch instead?

Some numbers you might find here:
http://www.pci.uni-heidelberg.de/tc/usr/bernd/downloads/lustre/ performance/

thanks for your reply the performance loss is not small, but
can I be sure that than do not run into bmalloc related file system crashes?
Just to be sure because in the last discussions there are a lot of
informations and I'm not sure what I have to do next.


Patches are in bug#11039


Cheers,
Bernd

I have looked into this but there for me its not easy to find out which patch
should I realy use for vanilla 2.6.18,
some are outdated and I want to avoid to do something wrong.
