[Sisuite-devel] BitTorrent transport

[Bernard Li]

I tested the BitTorrent transport in trunk - it works after a bit of tweaking.

 

I need to apply the following patch otherwise bittorrent-console will complain about not being able to find libdl.so.2:

Andrea, if it looks ok to you, then I'll commit it.

 

We need to modify si_installbtimage a bit, so that you can stop or restart the seeder.  Right now if you run it with --quiet, there is no easy way to stop it (unless you kill the process manually).

 

Reporting to si_monitor seems a bit off.  si_monitortk reports that the node is "done" but in actual fact only file transfer has completed but it still needs to extract the image (which may take some time depending on what kind of hardware you have).  Perhaps we need to add an intermediate state for si_monitor after all file transfers are completed but before the node is rebooted.

 

I may have more feedback after I've done more testing with multiple nodes.

 

Cheers,

 

Bernard
