Below my logs obtained on centos 5.4 with kernel 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 when I ask OpenMPI+BLCR to load checkpoint snapshot from NFS share. General layout is next: host is diskless with nfsroot over NFSv3, /home/* auto-mounted via NFSv4, and checkpoint directory (where BLCR snapshot is) mounted via NFSv3 (because over NFS4 it kills system even faster). CentOS 5.4 / kernel 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 NFS servier is OpenSolaris. BLCR-0.8.2+OpenMPI-1.4.1 (if it does matter). Although checkpoint snapshot is on NFSv3 (on NFSv4 at kills system in different way), during restore of processes BLCR try to open some files on /home/user share which is on NFSv4. Practically, for last couple of years I'm regularly trying to implement config with diskless hosts where /home/* folders will be automounted over NFSv4 (to have proper ACL and attrs), and all what I see: 1) you can't have root on NFS4 (although you can move idmap to initrd and mount NFS4 as root, you always get after some time hanging system, or system with broken idmapping), so you have to use NFS3 for root. And, obviously, NFS4 root isn't desirable, if you take into account idmapping, which means that on server you really need to create corespondent UIDs for all system/service UIDs you have on the clients and have to keep it synchronized. 2) root over NFSv3 and mounts over NFSv4 can't coexist together. At least in real combat systems. There always some different bugs in different places which prevents this config from working. I tried at least 15 different versions of kernels in range 2.6.16-2.6.31, from different distros and vanilla kernels, but never managed to get it working stable. Will it ever work?
