Does anyone monitor this list?
Nicolas: Lustre 1.8.2 supports 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 (EL5u4), however, we have 24GB on our machine so we use 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5PAE. This also seems to be a problem. I thought that since the 2.6.18-164 was supported getting lustre to accommodate the "PAE" would not be difficult, but I have failed to do this. ~Lawrence ~Lawernce Nicolas Williams wrote:> On Thu, Mar 11, 2010 at 01:33:33PM -0500, Lawrence Sorrillo wrote: > >> I was attempting to create lustre client rpms against a i686 EL5u4 box. >> >> (2.6.18-164.11.1.el5PAE #1 SMP Wed Jan 6 13:43:57 EST 2010 i686 i686 >> i386 GNU/Linux) >> >> I see that this kernel is not yet officially supported.

Hi All, I think I accidentally hit the wrong button on this so I''m forwarding to the list. Lawrence, You may want to consider, if you haven''t already, signing up for the list so that your emails are automatically approved. http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss To: Nicolas Williams <Nicolas.Williams at sun.com> CC: lustre-discuss at lists.lustre.org I was attempting to create lustre client rpms against a i686 EL5u4 box. (2.6.18-164.11.1.el5PAE #1 SMP Wed Jan 6 13:43:57 EST 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux) I see that this kernel is not yet officially supported. So I was stumped. I have since abandoned this attempt and looking to down-rev to EL5u3. ~Lawrence Nicolas Williams wrote:> On Wed, Mar 10, 2010 at 05:22:06PM -0500, Lawrence Sorrillo wrote: >> Does anyone monitor this list? > > Yes, we do.

That is a very unusual configuration these days, and even besides Lustre it is unlikely that many people will be using/testing such a configuration. Is this for a Lustre client or server usage? As for Lustre, we have run on 4GB i386 machines in the past with highmem, and of course > 4GB x86_64 machines, but I doubt we''ve ever tested with PAE mode. The main problem with "highmem" systems like this is that the kernel is limited to using 1GB of RAM for all allocations (including page tables, and such), and applications can only address 4GB of RAM, so managing 24GB of RAM becomes a serious problem. On a server, 23GB of your memory would sit unused. On a client there would be continual memory pressure on the lowmem kernel allocations, even if there is lots of free highmem available.> Nicolas Williams wrote: >> On Thu, Mar 11, 2010 at 01:33:33PM -0500, Lawrence Sorrillo wrote: >> >>> I was attempting to create lustre client rpms against a i686 EL5u4 >>> box. >>> >>> (2.6.18-164.11.1.el5PAE #1 SMP Wed Jan 6 13:43:57 EST 2010 i686 i686 >>> i386 GNU/Linux) >>> >>> I see that this kernel is not yet officially supported.
