 the result of patch changes to jbd.

We might have found a problem related to jbd in the patch set.
Would you mind giving a try to the updated patch to check if your problem is 
fixed?

Cheers,

 Heh. Nice imagery Jeff. Yes, this patch is still under active
 development and also note that it will not be able to complete autotest
 until we switch it to use RHEL5.8 by default (hopefully soon, but this
 had been on hold until we saw whether we needed RC3 for 2.2). So, if you
 are willing to test the latest patch that would be appreciated and could
 accelerate things (please post your findings on the JIRA ticket), but
 regardless we should have this work completed in the near future.

[Lustre-discuss] Latest RHEL/CentOS kernel that compiles against Lustre 1.8 git tree?

2012-03-30 Thread Jeff Johnson
Greetings,

Does anyone know the most recent kernel (RHEL/CentOS) that can be
successfully patched and compiled against the current Lustre 1.8 git
source tree? I attempted 2.6.18-308.1.1 but there are several patches
that fail. Quilt would not make it past the third patch in the series
file. Applying the patches manually reveals several hunk failures. I
require a kernel more recent than 2.6.18-274.3.1 for non-Lustre
related issues.

Thanks in advance.

LU-1052 is the jira ticket for 2.6.18-308.1.1 support. There is a patch here 
which should help you to build against this kernel.

Hi Jeff:

   Our 2.6.32.58.scalable kernel has been patched for 1.8.+ git.  We 
could use some testers to help us out.   We've integrated the Lustre 
patch process into our build environment, and fixed the few small issues 
we've found.

   Happy to have more testers if you are interested.

   Regards,

Joe

2012-03-30 Thread Jeff Johnson
I applied that patch at 9AM this morning. Several hunks failed and
then I noticed that the LU-1052 patch is literally morphing as the
morning progresses.

There is a difference between living on the bleeding edge and standing
in a field watching the razor's edge coming at you... :)

Re: [Lustre-discuss] Latest RHEL/CentOS kernel that compiles against Lustre 1.8 git tree?

2012-03-30 Thread Jeff Johnson
My Lustre system (IB, Xeon-E5, 4xOSS, 4xOST, 84TB, 16 clients) is a
development only system. No meaningful data. It is currently loaded
with CentOS5.8 and I have Lustre 1.8 source checked out via git last
night. I'm happy to test and provide feedback.

FTR, I think Intel's new isci driver is a real PITA.
