Hello, back at last! I've made quite extensive testing of NFS running atop PVFS2.7.0pre1 patched with the "nfs-pvfs2-bufmap.patch". I've tried to apply this patch to 2.7.0 release, unfortunately automatic patching doesn't work, I tried correcting the structs names by hand but... Well, I'll see that later on next week.
The setup is very simple : two machines in a PVFS2 cluster, both client, server and metadata server. both mount the pvfs2 fs and export it thru NFS. Other systems on the network (1Ge) mount the NFS exports from either of the servers simultaneously. So now the good news : that works! No more crashes, no more kernel warnings, no more failed writes. That's great. Bad news : running bonnie++ on the nfs share, "stat sequential files" failed : stat 16384 files but found only 16383. I don't know if this is a pre-release bug, or something else : can I have more than 2^14 files in the same directory or is this some sort of limitation? -- ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Florac | Intellique ---------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Pvfs2-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.beowulf-underground.org/mailman/listinfo/pvfs2-users
