[Lustre-discuss] Help needed in building patchless client for lustre

hi!
I tried to build lustre-1.6.4.2 in my system, but the following error occured,

/home/bharat/Desktop/lustre-1.6/lustre-1.6.4.2/lustre/lvfs/lvfs_linux.c:345:
error: too few arguments to function ?vfs_rename?
make[6]: ***

make: *** [all] Error 2

my kernel version is 2.6.22.14.

and I configured patchless client in my system using the following command

[lustre]$ ./configure --with-linux=/unpatched/kernel/source

and after that I tried to build, using make then the above error occured.

can anyone help me in how to proceed building the patchless client for lustre.

Thanks and Regards,
Ashok Bharat

The discrepancies between lfs df -h and df -h I think that largely  
have to do with the way GB are calculated. Ether based on 1000 or  
1024. Remember you lose about 5% of each underlying volume due to the  
5% reserved for root.

What the group upcall does is get all the secondary groups for the 
client user. There isn''t enough room in the LNET message to send them 
all, so the MDS has to look it up in the /etc/groups. If you don''t care
about secondary groups at all, there is no harm in clearing the 
group_upcall param.

In theory, there also shouldn''t be any harm in having different passwd 
and group files on the MDS and OSSes than on the clients. It''s highly 
important, however, that all the clients have the same passwd and groups 
files. Otherwise the clients could interpret the same UID as different 
users, and people could go mucking around in each others files.

[Lustre-discuss] Help needed in building patchless client for lustre

I need step by step procedure of building patchless client for lustre file
system.I referred wiki.lustre.org. But I have a doubt,For bulding patchless
client, Is it required to patch and build kernel source first  as given in wiki
and then configure using
[lustre]$ ./configure --with-linux=/unpatched/kernel/source
or not?
I have kernel version vanilla 2.6.22.14 and I''m trying to install
lustre 1.6.4.2

Regards,
Ashok Bharat

The default for Lustre is to _not_ support cluster-coherent flock locking,
because it can cause problems in some cases (depending on locking mode).

There are client mount options "-o localflock" which just pretends
that flock
locking is working (it is using only the local node''s flock locking),
and
"-o flock" which enables real filesystem-wide flock.  You can pick
between
the two, depending if you need real flock or not.

Also, there have been improvements for the Lustre ADIO driver done at ORNL.

You should be able to build a "patchless" lustre client for kernels

2.6.16, though I''m not sure if we have all of the kernel API changes
for > 2.6.22 in the Lustre code.  The issue is that even though Lustre
clients no longer require kernel patches, the kernel APIs change without
notice or documentation, so there is always _something_ broken when a
new kernel is released.

Could you also elaborate on the "1.6.4.* compatibility issue"?  There
shouldn''t be any compatibility problems between 1.6 releases, though
the current b1_6 development branch has a feature (adaptive timeouts)
which is likely to be removed before the final release.  I would suggest
getting the specific Lustre release you want by CVS tag (v1_6_4_3 probably)
instead of the CVS tip.

hi!
I tried to build lustre-1.6.4.2 in my system, but the following error occured,

my kernel version is 2.6.22.14.

and I configured patchless client in my system using the following command

[lustre]$ ./configure --with-linux=/unpatched/kernel/source

and after that I tried to build, using make then the above error occured.

can anyone help me in how to proceed building the patchless client for lustre.

Thanks and Regards,
Ashok Bharat

What the group upcall does is get all the secondary groups for the 
client user. There isn''t enough room in the LNET message to send them 
all, so the MDS has to look it up in the /etc/groups. If you don''t care
about secondary groups at all, there is no harm in clearing the 
group_upcall param.

In theory, there also shouldn''t be any harm in having different passwd 
and group files on the MDS and OSSes than on the clients. It''s highly 
important, however, that all the clients have the same passwd and groups 
files. Otherwise the clients could interpret the same UID as different 
users, and people could go mucking around in each others files.

This smacks of a Ubuntu kernel.  Ubuntu Gutsy to be precise.  If so, you
will be out of luck.  Ubuntu have added AppArmor to their kernel and
that addition has resulted in a number of VFS API changes which we do
not handle.
> my kernel version is 2.6.22.14.
Yeah, that looks like a Ubuntu kernel.

Just for the record on this thread, configure should detect an unpatched
kernel source and assume "--disable-server" automagically.
