The stuff shipped in ofed-1.4 isn't very stable.
I suggest either ofed-1.4.1-rc1 or just a stock 2.6.28 kernel (see my
earlier email).

Hi. If you use install.pl, I think you need to select custom install
(not "install all"). This will allow you to pick the nfsrdma option.

The easiest steps to have nfsrdma up and running:
Download OFED-1.4.1-rc1 from
http://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/OFED/ofed-1.4.1/
and build/install nfsrdma. It is running on 2.6.27/26/25 and RHEL 5.2
default kernels
Or
+ Download kernel 2.6.27 from kernel.org
+ Build the kernel 2.6.27 with IB driver (and other modules ie.
user_mad, addr_trans, ib_mthca, mlx4_ib... ), nfs client/server,
sunrpc... as modules
+ Boot up with new kernel
+ Follow the attached README
NOTE: You can also download and run nfsrdma on latest development kernel
2.6.29-rc7; however, it does not work on Mellanox ConnectX HCA due to a
bug on Fast memory registration work request. We are debugging it now

Hello,
I want to try NFS over RDMA. According to the documentation enclosed
within the OFED-1.4 release, it should be as simple as setting
"nfsrdma=y".
Unfortunately there is no such option. The interactive menu offered by
'./install.pl' does not mention NFS neither.
Is there an updated version of the documentation on how to run NFS over
RDMA? I have noticed, that it is part of the vanilla Linux kernel but
I still did
not manage to get it up and running.
Many thanks for your advice,
Philip
