nfs and hsm

2005-06-21 Thread Dr T A Carpenter
Hello,

We have noted a difference between 2.6.11-9-em64t-p4-smp  and
2.6.8-11-em64t-p4-smp  when accessing via nfs our HSM (EMC/Legato
DiskXtender SM 2.9).  2.6.8 behaves normally,  i.e. if a file is on tape it
waits until the file is restored then continues processing the file.  2.6.11
triggers the staging of the file,  but never continues,  but waits
indefinitely (well at least 10 days!) although access from other clients
shows that the file has been staged.  Any suggestions?  Does anyone know if
anything was changed with the nfs code for 2.6.11 that might cause this?

RE: EM64T Machine available for porting

I hope it works!   I have 8 1850's (2.8 GHz EM64T's) running "unstable" at
the moment (with the test SMP kernel),  and have another 34 on order!

We got various reports that it worked, but it sure couldn't hurt
to give it a good test. :)

smp kernel success on Dell 1850

2005-03-10 Thread Dr T A Carpenter
Hi Guys,

Just reporting that kernel-image-2.6.10-0-em64t-p4-smp_2.6.10-5_amd.deb
works on a dual CPU Dell 1850 (all other smp kernel either panic or
instantly reboot just after the scsi probe).

SMP kernel panics on Dell 1850

2005-03-03 Thread Dr T A Carpenter
I've successfully installed debian-pure64/testing on a dual CPU Dell 1850
(EM64T) using pxeboot and the netinst kernel/initrd.  System installs really
easily and is running  2.6.8-10-em64t-p4.  /proc/cpuinfo reports 4 cpus
(hyperthreading is on). I have tried to install 2.6.8-10-em64t-p4-smp,
however  on boot just before the scsi modules are probed kernel reports its
not able to open an initial console,  then immediately after the scsi probe,
but before mounting the root partition the kernel panics.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  Also I am surprised that I see more than
one CPU using a non-smp kernel.

Adrian
