I have ten nodes mounting a remote storage. I followed the guide online and changed the directory /opt/orangefs to /SharedStorage/orangefs.(Here /SharedStorage means the mount point of each node points to the remote storage). That means each node's data storage & meta storage are on the same directory /SharedStorage/orangefs/storage and my log file in /SharedStorage/orangefs/log/ records all ten nodes' status. Now when i start with the '-f -a' i can only create once. for example: 1. i start with node1, with '/SharedStorage/orangefs/sbin/pvfs2-server -f -a *node1* /SharedStorage/orangefs/etc/orangefs-server.conf' and it's ok. 2. when i start with node2, with '/SharedStorage/orangefs/sbin/pvfs2-server -f -a *node2* /SharedStorage/orangefs/etc/orangefs-server.conf', it says the storage already exists and exiting. I know it because each node's storage directory is just the same.
so can orangefs be installed correctly in such situation? If so, what have i done wrong? Thanks.
