So they should subscribe to the mvapich-core mailing list, the general 
list is not the place where mvapich is being developed, if they want to 
announce release of official versions, that's fine, but not every

 Is it possible to add more memory to this server.

It is not only memory problem. This weekend (and it is not first time)
the server was almost not functional (mailman, bugzilla, git) due to
lack of free space on root fs (and I removed some old files in /tmp).

I can see that Vlad cleaned some temporary files, but nobody else cared.

Probably it could be useful:

1. to run cleanup script daily or weekly (at least over /tmp and
   ~/tmp directories).
2. to publish top10 list of users which consume most disk space on the
   server and send them notification by email.
3. to not use the OFA server (which primary goal was to host git,
   mailman, bugzilla, wiki, etc.) for builds.



A new server for builds might be the ticket.  Maybe NetApp can donate a 
filer? :)

Apparently OFED 1.3 includes SRP target support ? Although I consider
SRP target support as a very valuable contribution, it should not be
included in the OFED distribution but in the SCST distribution. The
reason is that the SRP target relies on SCST interfaces that can
potentially change with each new SCST release. Consider e.g. the
scsi_tgt.h header file, which defines  the interface between SCST core
and SCST mid-level modules. The version of this file included with
git://git.openfabrics.org/~vu/ofed_1_3.git (0.9.6-pre3) is
incompatible with the latest scsi_tgt.h file from the SCST project
(0.9.6-rc1). This may cause kernel crashes for OFED 1.3 SRP target
users who combine OFED 1.3 with the latest SCST version.


No it won't crash, it will refuse to run. I've recently added in SCST
protection against attempts running mixed SCST and target driver versions.

BTW, there is a

*!! BIG FAT WARNING ABOUT MIXED VERSIONS PROBLEM !!*

Hello Vladislav,

I did not test the above scenario -- what I wrote was the result of
source reading. It is very good that interface versions are checked
inside SCST before mid-level drivers are used. Even with interface
version checking in place, my opinion is that the SRP target code
should be included in the SCST project and not in the OFED project.


But that won't change anything. The problem will be simply inverted: 
there will be a possibility to run a SRPT driver compiled for a wrong 
OFED version.

Hi,
OFED 1.3 RC2 release is available on
http://www.openfabrics.org/builds/ofed-1.3/release/OFED-1.3-rc2.tgz

To get BUILD_ID run ofed_info

Please report any issues in bugzilla https://bugs.openfabrics.org/
The RC3 release is expected on January 30



Apparently OFED 1.3 includes SRP target support ? Although I consider
SRP target support as a very valuable contribution, it should not be
included in the OFED distribution but in the SCST distribution. The
reason is that the SRP target relies on SCST interfaces that can
potentially change with each new SCST release. Consider e.g. the
scsi_tgt.h header file, which defines  the interface between SCST core
and SCST mid-level modules. The version of this file included with
git://git.openfabrics.org/~vu/ofed_1_3.git (0.9.6-pre3) is
incompatible with the latest scsi_tgt.h file from the SCST project
(0.9.6-rc1). This may cause kernel crashes for OFED 1.3 SRP target
users who combine OFED 1.3 with the latest SCST version.


Now it won't crash, it will refuse to run. I've recently added in SCST 
protection against attempts running mixed SCST and target driver versions.


BTW, there is a

during SCST installation. Did you ignored it? Is it not BIG FAT enough?

It is not only memory problem. This weekend (and it is not first time)
the server was almost not functional (mailman, bugzilla, git) due to
lack of free space on root fs (and I removed some old files in /tmp).

I can see that Vlad cleaned some temporary files, but nobody else cared.

Probably it could be useful:

1. to run cleanup script daily or weekly (at least over /tmp and
   ~/tmp directories).
2. to publish top10 list of users which consume most disk space on the
   server and send them notification by email.
3. to not use the OFA server (which primary goal was to host git,
   mailman, bugzilla, wiki, etc.) for builds.

The SRP target driver indeed relies on several OFED kernel headers,
but these kernel headers are included in the mainstream Linux kernel
since some time. When I need OFED kernel modules, I use the modules
included with the mainstream Linux kernel and not those included with
the OFED distribution.

With regard to distribution of kernel code that is newer than the most
recent mainstream Linux kernel I prefer the model followed by the
realtime community: do not distribute the whole source tree but
publish an up-to-date patch every time a new kernel version is
released. See also
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/. Keeping such a
patch up to date is more work but is a lot easier to review than
having to compare source trees.

Hello Vladislav,

I did not test the above scenario -- what I wrote was the result of
source reading. It is very good that interface versions are checked
inside SCST before mid-level drivers are used. Even with interface
version checking in place, my opinion is that the SRP target code
should be included in the SCST project and not in the OFED project.

[ewg] Is it possible to upgrage memory in the OFA hosting server

[Tziporet Koren]

Hi Jeff & Johann,

Many people suffers from the performance of the server, especially since 
all use it for the cross compilation

Is it possible to add more memory to this server.

If you are not the people that should address this request please 
forward to the server owner


Thanks,
Tziporet
