Hi Jeff: I don't know the exact cause of the libc differences, but perhaps I could offer some experience that may be related.
Red Hat based Linux distroes run prelink as part of cron, if you take a look at some binaries in /bin in the image, versus on the headnode's filesystem or an imaged node (that has been running 1+ day), you'll notice that the filesizes are different. This is because during image creation, no prelink was done on the file in the image, but the files are prelinked on the imaged node after the fact. Perhaps this is related to your issue with md5sum, not 100% sure though. In regards to prelink - perhaps there should be an OSCAR post-script which runs prelink on the image prior to deployment? Of course just run it on distributions which use prelink. Regarding TORQUE, the reason why we're stuck at the version is because the next version up required massive build changes which I didn't have time for back then. If someone is interested in upgrading it to the latest version, feel free! It may be necessary to rebuild a bunch of other libraries like LAM/MPI, MPICH though to work with libtorque. You may also consider giving SGE a try - as far as I know it works pretty good! :-) Cheers, Bernard ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
