Re: [gpfsug-discuss] How to do multiple mounts via GPFS

[Jakobs, Julian]

I've ran into the same problem some time ago.
What worked for me was this shell script I run as a @reboot cronjob:

#!/bin/bash
while [ ! -d /gpfs1/home ]
do
  sleep 5
done
mount --bind /gpfs1/home /home

I tried a bind mount, but perhaps I'm doing it wrong. The system fails to boot 
because gpfs doesn't start until too late in the boot process.
In fact, the system boots and the gpfs1 partition isn't available for a good 
20-30 seconds.

/gfs1/home/homenone bind
I've tried adding mount options of x-systemd-requires=gpfs1, noauto.
The noauto lets it boot, but the mount is never mounted properly. Doing a 
manual mount -a mounts it.

[gpfsug-discuss] GPFS on RHEL 8.1

[Jakobs, Julian]

Hello,

 

has anyone already tried Spectrum Scale on RHEL 8.1? I can see from the GPFS
FAQ that "RHEL 8" (no minor version indicated) is supported as of the 5.0.4
release. However latest kernel level fully tested is 4.18.0-80, indicating
that only RHEL 8.0 was tested. I tested an installation with 8.1 (kernel
version 4.18.0-147) and mmbuildgpl failed due to errors while compiling the
gpl (incompatible pointer type).

Is this expected behaviour or is there maybe something else wrong with the
installation?

 

If this needs a new GPFS release, is there an estimated time? I would much
prefer to install it with RHEL 8.1 due to 8.0 not being a EUS release.

 

Best,

Julian Jakobs
