Naturally, let us know (good or bad) how PVFS does with such a large number of servers and clients. We have some ideas for file layouts that might make sense for 1k parallel clients.
I'll be sure to do that, I come from the open source gpl'ed world. Its very nice to know when all that time and effort you put into making a really good piece of software either blows up or works like a charm :)
The server can run as a non-root user. The pvfs2-client needs to be able to read the /dev/pvfs2-req device. We always run pvfs2-client as root, but it might be possible to run as some other user once you change the device permissions apropriately.
Oooo, installing a nice udev rules file might be appropriate for setting permissions and such for this. However, it seems the kernel module doesn't actually try and create the device... pvfs2-client creates the device... is there any reason why the kernel module for 2.6 doesn't try to request that the device be created? - David Brown _______________________________________________ Pvfs2-developers mailing list [email protected] http://www.beowulf-underground.org/mailman/listinfo/pvfs2-developers
