Hi Angel, The issues you describe below look very similar to the issues we saw when using the stock db4 package. So, I think it should help. At our site, we installed the latest version of BDB in a non-standard location (i.e. /usr/local/db4.8) and did not replace the version currently installed due to the potential for broken dependencies. We then re-compiled OrangeFS against the new BDB version using --with-db=/usr/local/db4.8 for configure. Note that you only need the updated version of BDB on hosts running the server processes. The client-side does not link against BDB.
Hope that helps, Michael On Thu, Mar 24, 2011 at 9:32 AM, Angel de Vicente <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I sent this to the Rocks mailing list, but nobody there was able to give me > an answer.
