Dear PVFS users list,
Mounting a pvfs 7.2.1, creating directories and setting the distribution
type with setfattr for each directory, only simple_stipe and twod_stripe
would allow me to write a file in the given directory.
Adding the varstrip_dist xattrs patch from Murali Vilayannur attached to
this message thread:
http://osdir.com/ml/file-systems.pvfs2.users/2007-01/msg00050.html
fixes the variable strip distibution, but the basic distribution still
doesn't work for me.
The patch adds
#include "pvfs2-dist-basic.h
to src/client/sysint/sys-create.sm so I wonder if no one has tried
this...???
Perhaps there is a little more code needed to make basic_dist work with
xargs?
The patch above is against 2.6, but works (and is needed for varstrip_dist
with xargs) with 7.2.1 & the latest cvs (best I can tell) - perhaps
this patch
could be added to both?
Let me know if there is useful debug info I can provide...
Thanks Much
Tony
