hi: I am testing to install Lustre 1.2.4 on a two nodes small cluster. If it works, I will expand it to the whole cluster. I patched the kernel Linux version 2.4.21-20.ELsmp, compiled it and everything seems to go smoothly until I ran lconf. There is two nodes. One is configured as a MDS and Both nodes are configured as clients and OSTs. One LOV is created to stripe among two OSTs. Here is the script to generate configuration file: lmc -o config.xml --add net --node node0 --nid node0 --nettype tcp lmc -m config.xml --add net --node node1 --nid node1 --nettype tcp lmc -m config.xml --add net --node client --nid ''*'' --nettype tcp #Configure MDS lmc -m config.xml --add mds --node node0 --mds mds-test --fstype ext3 --dev /tmp/mds --size 50000 #Configure OSTs lmc -m config.xml --add lov --lov lov-test --mds mds-test --stripe_sz 65536 --stripe_cnt 0 --stripe_pattern 0 lmc -m config.xml --add ost --node node0 --lov lov-test --ost ost1 --fstype ext3 --dev /tmp/ost1 --size 200000 lmc -m config.xml --add ost --node node1 --lov lov-test --ost ost2 --fstype ext3 --dev /tmp/ost2 --size 200000 # Configure client (this is a ''generic'' client used for all client mounts) lmc -m config.xml --add mtpt --node client --path /mnt/lustre --mds mds-test --lov lov-test lconf node1: #lconf --reformat --node node1 config.xml loading module: portals srcdir None devdir libcfs loading module: ksocknal srcdir None devdir knals/socknal loading module: lvfs srcdir None devdir lvfs loading module: obdclass srcdir None devdir obdclass loading module: ptlrpc srcdir None devdir ptlrpc loading module: ost srcdir None devdir ost loading module: fsfilt_ext3 srcdir None devdir lvfs loading module: obdfilter srcdir None devdir obdfilter NETWORK: NET_mraven4_tcp NET_mraven4_tcp_UUID tcp mraven4 988 OSD: ost2 ost2_UUID obdfilter /tmp/ost2 200000 ext3 no 0 0 loading module: portals srcdir None devdir libcfs loading module: ksocknal srcdir None devdir knals/socknal loading module: lvfs srcdir None devdir lvfs loading module: obdclass srcdir None devdir obdclass loading module: ptlrpc srcdir None devdir ptlrpc loading module: ost srcdir None devdir ost loading module: fsfilt_ext3 srcdir None devdir lvfs loading module: obdfilter srcdir None devdir obdfilter NETWORK: NET_mraven4_tcp NET_mraven4_tcp_UUID tcp mraven4 988 OSD: ost2 ost2_UUID obdfilter /tmp/ost2 200000 ext3 no 0 0 lconf node0(it hangs): #lconf --reformat --node node1 config.xml loading module: portals srcdir None devdir libcfs loading module: ksocknal srcdir None devdir knals/socknal loading module: lvfs srcdir None devdir lvfs loading module: obdclass srcdir None devdir obdclass loading module: ptlrpc srcdir None devdir ptlrpc loading module: ost srcdir None devdir ost loading module: fsfilt_ext3 srcdir None devdir lvfs loading module: obdfilter srcdir None devdir obdfilter loading module: mdc srcdir None devdir mdc loading module: osc srcdir None devdir osc loading module: lov srcdir None devdir lov loading module: mds srcdir None devdir mds NETWORK: NET_mraven_tcp NET_mraven_tcp_UUID tcp mraven 988 OSD: ost1 ost1_UUID obdfilter /tmp/ost1 200000 ext3 no 0 0 MDSDEV: mds-test mds-test_UUID /tmp/mds ext3 no recording clients for filesystem: FS_fsname_UUID Recording log mds-test on mds-test OSC: OSC_mraven_ost1_mds-test f8079_lov_mds-test_d9b317d7a3 ost1_UUID OSC: OSC_mraven_ost2_mds-test f8079_lov_mds-test_d9b317d7a3 ost2_UUID LOV: lov_mds-test f8079_lov_mds-test_d9b317d7a3 mds-test_UUID 0 65536 0 0 [u''ost1_UUID'', u''ost2_UUID''] mds-test End recording log mds-test on mds-test Recording log mds-test-clean on mds-test LOV: lov_mds-test f8079_lov_mds-test_d9b317d7a3 OSC: OSC_mraven_ost1_mds-test f8079_lov_mds-test_d9b317d7a3 OSC: OSC_mraven_ost2_mds-test f8079_lov_mds-test_d9b317d7a3 End recording log mds-test-clean on mds-test MDSDEV: mds-test mds-test_UUID /tmp/mds ext3 50000 no lconf hangs here, when ctrl+c Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/lconf", line 2723, in ? main() File "/usr/sbin/lconf", line 2716, in main doHost(lustreDB, node_list) File "/usr/sbin/lconf", line 2344, in doHost for_each_profile(node_db, prof_list, doSetup) File "/usr/sbin/lconf", line 2214, in for_each_profile operation(services) File "/usr/sbin/lconf", line 2229, in doSetup n.prepare() File "/usr/sbin/lconf", line 1447, in prepare setup ="%s %s %s" %(blkdev, self.fstype, self.name)) File "/usr/sbin/lconf", line 552, in newdev self.setup(name, setup) File "/usr/sbin/lconf", line 545, in setup self.run(cmds) File "/usr/sbin/lconf", line 371, in run ready = select.select([outfd,errfd],[],[]) # Wait for input KeyboardInterrupt How can I solve the problem?
