Hello!
I have the following problem.
I have created a simple cluster for testing, with the following softwares:
- Debian sarge (stable)
- Kernel 2.6.14
- PVFS2 v1.3.1
I have a storage server (nothing extra, just a simple PC with IDE HDD),
with the following config:
/dev/hda3 mounted under /home/pvfs2 (this will be shared with pvfs2-server)
cd /usr/src
tar xzf pvfs2-1.3.1.tar.gz
cd pvfs2-1.3.1
./configure --enable-fast
make
make install
pvfs2-genconfig /etc/pvfs2/fs.conf /etc/pvfs2/server.conf
pvfs2-server /etc/pvfs2/fs.conf /etc/pvfs2/server.conf -f
/etc/init.d/pvfs2-server start
I have a node connected over ethernet (with a cross cable) to the
storage, with the following config:
cd /usr/src
tar xzf pvfs2-1.3.1.tar.gz
cd pvfs2-1.3.1
./configure --enable-fast --disable-server --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux
make
make install
make kmod
make kmod_install
modprobe pvfs2
pvfs2-client pvfs2-client-core
mount -t pvfs2 tcp://storage:3334/pvfs2-fs /mnt/pvfs2
At this point is all ok. The node can mount the pvfs2 filesystem, and
from the node can I copy, del, etc. files and dirs to /mnt/pvfs2.
The problem comes when I try to use postfix on the node. Normally
mailboxes are under /var/mail.
Access rights for /var/mail are following:
drwxrwsr-x 2 root mail 4096 2005-11-29 15:41 mail
Access rights for /var/mail/user_mail_box_file are following:
-rw-rw---- 1 user1 mail 579 2005-11-29 16:00 user1
In this case postfix can without problems create the mailbox file, and
write messages to them.
BUT! I would store mailboxes on pvfs2. I create the directory
/mnt/pvfs2/mail
Access rights for /mnt/pvfs2/mail are following:
drwxrwsr-x 1 root mail 4096 2005-11-29 14:01 mail
I delete the /var/mail and create a symlink /var/mail to /mnt/pvfs2/mail
Access rights for /var/mail are following:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2005-11-29 16:01 mail -> /mnt/pvfs2/mail
In this case postfix can't create the mailbox files, and the error log
shows the following:
Nov 29 16:10:50 sky postfix/pickup[5952]: 123082BE1F: uid=1000 from=<kiri>
Nov 29 16:10:50 sky postfix/cleanup[6262]: 123082BE1F:

(can't create user output file. Command output: procmail: Couldn't
create "/var/mail/user1" )
Pvfs2 log is empty.

mail_spool_directory = /var/mail
mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
inet_interfaces = loopback-only
What is the problem? Why can postfix not write to pvfs2?
With users (root, or normal user) can I write to pvfs2.
Is this a pvfs2 config problem, or something with postfix?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
