Hi all, I used the method described below to build client rpms with the source kit lustre-1.8.5.tar.gz. There was only one error reported during the make rpms, relating to lustre-iolit-1.2-root, but the rpms were built under /usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64. The rpms lustre-modules, lustre and lustre-tests were then installed smoothly without any complaints. But the subsequent "modprobe

Hi, thanks for previous help. I have some question about Lustre RPC and the sequence of events that occur during large concurrent write() involving many processes and large data size per process. I understand there is a mechanism of flow control by credits, but I''m a little unclear on how it works in general after reading the "networking & io protocol" white paper. Is

In hopes of improving the quality, coverage, and currency of the Lustre User Manual, I''m putting out a call to the Lustre community for contributors to this important resource. The user manual is especially important for new users to Lustre, but has fallen into some disrepair now that there is no longer a dedicated documentation writer for it. As well, there are many sections of the

Hi all, I am a grad student at Carnegie Mellon University. I had my course work in advanced storage systems in previous semester, and I am interested to work on Lustre. I prefer to take up a project that could be completed in a duration of a month or two. Since I am a novice w.r.t. my familiarity with Lustre code base, I seek your opinion to choose a project from the list:

Greetings Community! Today we are very excited to announce that Xyratex has purchased Lustre? and its assets from Oracle. We intend for Lustre to remain an open-source, community-driven file system to be promoted by our community organizations. We undertook the acquisition because we realize its importance to the entire community and we want to help ensure that it will continue to deliver for all

Hi, I tried to compile lustre-client 2.0.0.1 on RHEL4 with kernel 2.6.9-89.0.28.EL-x86_64 and I got 3 errors and 1 warning during the compile. The compile is executed with -Werror option, and it fails in all 4 cases * Error: lustre_compat25.h CC [M] /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/lustre-2.0.0.1/lustre/fid/fid_handler.o In file included from

Hello, I have been reading http://wiki.lustre.org/images/1/1b/Hadoop_wp_v0.4.2.pdf for setting up Hadoop over lustre. Generally in hadoop setup, we have 1 Namenode and various number of datanodes. If I want to setup the same keeping Lustre as backend, in the document it is mentioned that: ".............Our experiments run on cluster with 8 nodes in total, one is mds/namenode, the rest are

Hello, I am having trouble installing the server modules for lustre 2.1.4 and use mellanox''s OFED distribution so we may use infiniband. Would you folks look at my procedure and results below and let me know what you think? Thanks very much! The mellanox ofed installation builds and installs some kernel modules too, so I used this method to ensure OFED compiled against the correct

I built and installed Lustre from source. When I installed built luster-modules- RPM, I got libcfs.ko from the kernel-2.6.18-prep has no modversions (the message is posted below), so it cannot be reused for kernel. Is there any procedure I need to do during the build? There is include/config/modversion.h under patched kernel, but the file does not have any contens and its size is 0. Thanks for

We have just discovered that a large buffer cache generated from traversing a lustre file system will cause a significant system overhead for applications with high memory demands. We have seen a 50% slowdown or worse for applications. Even High Performance Linpack, that have no file IO whatsoever is affected. The only remedy seems to be to empty the buffer cache from memory by running

Hi, We run four-node Lustre 2.3, and I needed to both change hardware under MGS/MDS and reassign an OSS ip. Just the same, I added a brand new 10GE network to the system, which was the reason for MDS hardware change. I ran tunefs.lustre --writeconf as per chapter 14.4 in Lustre Manual, and everything mounts fine. Log regeneration apparently works, since it seems to do something, but

We are running a benchmark that does single threaded 512 KB writes to a LUN on a CLARiiON storage array. The dual Xeon host (Dell 2650) with 4 GB of memory runs RHEL 4U3 We measured the write bandwidth for writes to the block device corresponding to the lun (e.g. /dev/sdb), a file in an ext2 filesystem and to a file in an ext3 file system. Write b/w for 512 KB writes Block device 312 MBps Ext2

Hello, in preparation for CentOS 6.5 I was trying to build Lustre 1.8 client on CentOS 6.4 updated with 2.6.32-431 kernel. Seems like recent changes in fs.h (/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64/include/linux/fs.h) is causing problems. make[5]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64'' cc1: warnings being treated as errors

We are seeing some disturbing (probably due to our ignorance) behavior from lustre 1.6.3 right now. We have 8 OSSs with 3 OSTs per OSS (24 physical LUNs). We just created a brand new lustre file system across this configuration using the default mkfs.lustre formatting options. We have this file system mounted across 400 clients. At the moment, we have 63 IOzone threads running

Hi, I am trying to educate myself on prefetching/readahead algorithm for Lustre''s read. For a starter I only have two simple questions. 1 - Does Lustre detect linear or random I/O pattern or it always triggers readahead? 2 - If readahead is triggered, how many pages are read in addition to what is necessary? Thanks, Arifa.
