Hi
I could successfully use the following rankfile on Linux with
openmpi-1.6.4rc3r27923, but it doesn't work with a patched
openmpi-1.6.4rc4r28022 (patch.diff from Eugene). Perhaps this
information helps to track down the error.
tyr rankfiles 114 cat rf_ex_linpc
# mpiexec -report-bindings -rf rf_ex_linpc hostname
rank 0=linpc0 slot=0:0-1,1:0-1
rank 1=linpc1 slot=0:0-1
rank 2=linpc1 slot=1:0
rank 3=linpc1 slot=1:1
linpc1 rankfiles 99 mpiexec -report-bindings -rf rf_ex_linpc hostname
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rankfile that was used claimed that a host was either not
allocated or oversubscribed its slots. Please review your rank-slot
assignments and your host allocation to ensure a proper match. Also,
some systems may require using full hostnames, such as
"host1.example.com" (instead of just plain "host1").
Host: linpc0

I will build an unpatched openmpi-1.6.4rc4 and check if the
above rankfile will work. Unfortunately I can check only tomorrow
because new packages will be mirrored in the night to all machines
so that it is not available on both machines today. I let you know
the result.
Kind regards
Siegmar
