Hello everybody, at the following pages: http://www.rit.edu/~rc/docs/Survey_of_Clustered_Parallel_File_Systems_004_LANL.ppt http://www.intel.com/cd/ids/developer/asmo-na/eng/dc/tools/threading/238284.htm?page=2 I read: "[...] Currently, one additional drawback to Lustre is that a Lustre client cannot be on a server that is providing OSTs.

Chris, Perhaps you need to perform some write_conf like command. I''m not sure if this is needed in 1.6 or not.

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''m seeing what can only be described as dismal striped write performance from lustre 1.6.3 clients :-/ 1.6.2 and 1.6.1 clients are fine. 1.6.4rc3 clients (from cvs a couple of days ago) are also terrible. the below shows that the OS (centos4.5/5) or fabric (gigE/IB) or lustre version on the servers doesn''t matter - the problem is with the 1.6.3 and 1.6.4rc3 client kernels

Hi I want my lustre do such things during OST failed: if some file has stripe data on th failed OST, any operation on the file will return IO error without blocking, and also at this moment I can create and read/write new file or read/write files which have no stripe data on the failed OST without blocking. What should I do ? How to configure? thanks! swin -------------- next part

Hi, Lustre manual 1.6 v18 says that that in production lustre debug level should be set to fairly low. Manual also says that I can verify that level by running following commands: # sysctl portals.debug This gives ne following error error: ''portals.debug'' is an unknown key cat /proc/sys/lnet/debug gives output: ioctl neterror warning error emerg ha config console cat

All, I''ve added a new 2.2 TB OST to my cluster easily enough, but this new disk array is meant to replace several smaller OSTs that I used to have of which were only 120 GB, 500 GB, and 700 GB. Adding an OST is easy, but how do I REMOVE the small OSTs that I no longer want to be part of my cluster? Is there a command to tell luster to move all the file stripes off one of the nodes?

Anyone have any experience with MpiBlast and Lustre. We have MpiBlast-1.4.0-pio and lustre-1.6.3 and we are seeing some pretty poor performance with most of the mpiblast threads spending 20% to 50% of their time in disk wait. We have the genbank nt database split into 24 fragments (one for each of our OSTs, 3 per OSS). The individual fragments are not striped due to the

Hi, Our lustre environment is: 2.6.9-55.0.9.EL_lustre.1.6.3smp I would like to change recovery timeout from default value 250s to something longer I tried example from manual: set_timeout <secs> Sets the timeout (obd_timeout) for a server to wait before failing recovery. We performed that experiment on our test lustre installation with one OST. storage02 is our OSS [root at

Hello, we wounder whether is it possible to add OSTs to the Lustre with quota support without making it offline? We tried to do this but all quota information was lost. Despite the fact that OST was formatted with quota support we are receiving this error message: Lustre: 3743:0:(lproc_quota.c:447:lprocfs_quota_wr_type()) lustrefs-OST0016: quotaon failed because quota files

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

Hi all, we use SLES 11 and Lustre 1.8.1.1 + patches and like convert a lustre FS using external journals to one with async journals enabled. Question is whether the procedure: umount <filesystem> on all clients umount <osts> on all OSSes e2fsck <ost-device> on all OSSes for all all OSTs tune2fs -O ^has_journal <ost-device> on all

Hello, I''ve several problems with quota on our testcluster: When I set the quota for a person to a given value (e.g. the values which are provided in the operations manual), I''m able to write exact the amount which is set with setquota. But when I delete the files(file) I''m not able to use this space again. Here is what I''ve done in detail: lfs checkquota

There are references to running fsck on the lustre OSTs after a crash or power failure. However, after downloading the ClusterFS e2fsprogs and building them, e2fsck does not recognize our ldiskfs- based OSTs. Is there a way to fsck the ldiskfs-based OSTs? Thanks, Charlie Taylor UF HPC Center

As any of you using version 1.6 of Lustre knows, Lustre servers can now be started simply my mounting the devices it is using. Even an /etc/fstab entry can be used if you can have the mount delayed until the network is started. Given this change, you have also notices that we have eliminated the initscript for Lustre that used to exist for releases prior to 1.6. I''d like to take a

Hi everyone, I have seen this question here before, but without a very satisfactory answer. One of our half a dozen clients has lost access to a set of OSTs: > lfs osts OBDS:: 0: lustre-OST0000_UUID ACTIVE 1: lustre-OST0001_UUID ACTIVE 2: lustre-OST0002_UUID INACTIVE 3: lustre-OST0003_UUID INACTIVE 4: lustre-OST0004_UUID INACTIVE 5: lustre-OST0005_UUID ACTIVE 6: lustre-OST0006_UUID ACTIVE
