Hi Phil,
Phill :)
I understand that you’re running master on your clients (tag v2_8_56 was created 4 days ago) and 2.1 on the servers? Running master in production is already a challenge. Also Lustre has never be good for cross-version compatibility. For example, it is possible to make 2.1 servers work with 2.5 clients and 2.5 servers work with 2.7 clients, even though additional patches may be needed.
Right, I believe that the version of the client we where using before the upgrade was certainly an older 2.x version, it might be worth seeing if I can get that to compile on the current kernel.
Humm upgrading the server is going to be a major pain in the ass, it was setup before I joined the department and is basically a Redhat kernel running on an Ubuntu 10.04 base. Ideally I'd want to migrate the servers (we have separate OSS and MDS) to a supported platform, even if it isn't Ubuntu, it's just more sane :)
I would say try to reduce the gap, upgrade your servers and/or try an official lustre release on your clients…
Is there a bare tarball** available of the official version's source? As I'm working on Ubuntu, which is an un-supported platform IIRC, I'd have to source compile.
**or a way to check it out of the git repository. Cheers. Phill. _______________________________________________ lustre-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lustre.org/listinfo.cgi/lustre-discuss-lustre.org
