[ewg] practical question about the hosting server

2008-01-26 Thread Glenn Streiff
Hi, folks.

So is resource contention an issue on the hosting server?

I'm new to the effort so just wanted to understand the practical
limits to working concurrently on that system.  I jumped on there
Friday and someone kicked off what looked like a normal build job
and things got pretty sluggish for me.

So I came in "early" (4:00am CT) hoping to get some cycles and did
for a time then it looked like Vlad's build cron jobs kicked in and I'm
in the ditch again.  Unable to do a 'git log' on my local repository.

Any practical advice is appreciated.  Curious if my experience is
typical or not.

Thanks,

Glenn

Are you about pkey index related patches? Assuming so...

I think it works now (for unclear reasons).

Anyway I'm planning to apply pkey_ix renaming patch next week - it will
break ibutils build then. Hope to have any feedback before this.

[ewg] the OFA server is out of free space

2008-01-26 Thread Sasha Khapyorsky
Hi,

Recently I tried to git-push and got 'No space left on device' error:

$ git push 
Counting objects: 28, done.
Compressing objects: 100% (19/19), done.
Writing objects: 100% (19/19), 3.45 KiB, done.
Total 19 (delta 16), reused 0 (delta 0)
error: file write error (No space left on device)

Fast look shows:

$ du -s /tmp

106945588   /home

real36m43.422s ( <- yes, this is true)

Guys! What about to clean things up? Thanks!

[ewg] Ramifications of outstanding ibutils patches relative to management

2008-01-26 Thread Hal Rosenstock
Sasha,

AFAIK there currently appear to be 2 outstanding patches against ibutils
which have not yet been incorporated for OFED 1.3. What are the
ramifications of this in terms of OFED 1.3 ? Will ibutils work with the
portions of management that it uses ? Is there something that wouldn't ?

[ewg] [GIT PULL ofed-1.3] neteffect updates

2008-01-26 Thread Glenn Streiff
Vlad,

Please pull from updated neteffect repository for latest ofed 1.3
release candidate:

   git://git.openfabrics.org/~glenn/linux-2.6.git ofed_kernel

This reflects content accepted into the upstream by Roland, plus:

   * updated MAINTAINTERS file
   * kernel.h backport (which you reviewed last week)

Let me know if you want this posted as a patch to
the community.

   * iw_nes_[1-3]00_*.patch backports commit

Noticed these were listed as untracked in the previous
maintainer's working respository (Glenn Grundstrom).
The check build was failing without the commit.

Passed build_ofa_kernel.sh.

Thanks,

I already suggested they up the memory on the system, but nothing has 
happened.

Also noticed that the home directories are sitting in the root file
system which is problematic with all the check builds folks do.
Means mortal user activity can fill up root fs.

Hmm...cross build environment encapsulated in a git to allow local
check builds.  Maybe once I get my training wheels off I could
explore that.
