I am having a problem with an LTP test from the 20080630 set of LTP
tests. The
'openfile01' test does 10 threaded opens of 10 files. It is attached in

need a copy. The test completes successfully, but an 'ls' command
immediately
after that hangs and cannot be killed. Eventually the node hangs as
well. Any
command that touches the file system will trigger the problem.
We also tried this with the 2.7.1 release tarball and see the same
problem. A
single node file system running RHEL4 and a 2.6.9-67 kernel. The client
was on
the same node.
Here is the configure line used:
./configure --with-kernel=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
and how the client was started:
./pvfs2-client -p ./pvfs2-client-core
The fs.conf file is attached.
The client debug mask was set to 'all', and /proc/sys/pvfs2/debug had a
value of
32767. But once the 'ls' command was issued, there were no log messages.
Does anyone else see this error?
Bart.
Are you able to reproduce this running openfile by itself after a fresh
boot? It looks like openfile operates on a file in the current working
directory, so I have been trying to run it like this:
<mount pvfs2 on /mnt/pvfs2>
cd /mnt/pvfs2
~/openfile -f10 -t10
ls -alh
So far I haven't had any trouble with that particular combination. I'm
running it on a centos4 box with a very similar kernel. The openfile
tests looks fairly innocent- with those arguments each of 10 separate
threads open the same single file 10 times (for a total of 100 file
descriptors open to the same file) if I understand correctly.
If I try to run a full LTP test, however, I do have other problems. In
particular the rename06 test hangs. I can trigger that one by itself as
follows:
export TMPDIR=/mnt/pvfs2
~/rename06
The same suite of tests runs fine on a 2.6.24 kernel and a trunk build
of PVFS. I'm not sure yet if the difference is between pvfs versions or
between kernel versions.
