Without having checked through the cvs is this the preferred method of
implementing Lustre? I am RTFM at every opportunity and implementing on my
boxes here to develop a growing cluster. So far I have the latest 1.6 installed
but not really working on one machine.
Permanent disk data:
Target: spfs-MDTffff
Index: unassigned
Lustre FS: spfs
Mount type: ldiskfs
Flags: 0x75
(MDT MGS needs_index first_time update )
Persistent mount opts: errors=remount-ro,iopen_nopriv,user_xattr
Parameters: mdt.group_upcall=/usr/sbin/l_getgroups
checking for existing Lustre data: not found
device size = 953869MB
2 6 18
formatting backing filesystem ldiskfs on /dev/sdb
target name spfs-MDTffff
4k blocks 0
options -J size=400 -i 4096 -I 512 -q -O dir_inde
mkfs_cmd = mkfs.ext2 -j -b 4096 -L spfs-MDTffff -J size=400 -i
Writing CONFIGS/mountdata
[root at localhost ~]# mkdir -p /mnt/test/mdt
You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root
[root at localhost ~]# mount -t lustre /dev/sdb /mnt/test/mdt
[root at localhost ~]# cat /proc/fs/lustre/devices

Fun stuff. Installed the
[root at localhost Desktop]# rpm -ivh
lustre_admin-2-0_2007_09_28_Friday_09h49m25s.noarch.rpm
although I haven''t figured out how to start it yet. Wanting to install
the kernel, modules and tools for the subject matter assuming it is the way to
proceed and bypass 1.6 branch.
