Hi I upgradaed one of our test boxes to FC5 to see what new and exciting ways PVFS2 breaks on it. Well, it wasn't terribly exciting. The one fatal error: 'update_atime' no longer exists in the kernel. The only other issue is that we get a lot more warnings. FC5 uses gcc-4.1, which is quite picky about 'type punning': we get a lot of warings like this now:
src/server/small-io.sm:150: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules Hopefully, by the next PVFS2 release we'll have all these warnings cleaned up. So all you FC4 users out there in PVFS2 land -- do hold off on upgrading to FC5 for a bit. ==rob -- Rob Latham Mathematics and Computer Science Division A215 0178 EA2D B059 8CDF Argonne National Labs, IL USA B29D F333 664A 4280 315B _______________________________________________ Pvfs2-developers mailing list [email protected] http://www.beowulf-underground.org/mailman/listinfo/pvfs2-developers
