[Lustre-discuss] Lustre and MPI-ROMIO, specifically ADIOI_Set_Lock and noncontiguous writing

I'm trying to do noncontiguous writes on a Lustre filesystem using MPI-ROMIO routines. It is failing in ADIOI_Set_Lock with the message: File locking failed in ADIOI_Set_lock. If the file system is NFS, you need to use NFS version 3, ensure that the lockd daemon is running on all the

2008-02-22 Thread Chadha, Narjit
I am at a point where my mds can effectively failover upon a hard or soft reboot. However, the big problem is with getting the OSSs and clients to mount to a failover MDS. The syntax according to my lustre manual is something to the effect: OSS: mkfs.lustre -ost -fsname=lustrefs

Ron, I'm trying a slightly different strategy. I'm trying to backport the TLB patch back to a RHEL5 kernel (which would work on SL5 too). If I get this patch working, I can let you know. This may be easier than trying to get Lustre running on a 2.6.23 system. --Shane -Original
