Hi Jim,
The instructions are documented here:
http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/PNFS_Block_Server_Setup_Instructions
I followed these instructions. Compiling the kernel is OK and so is
compilation of pnfs-nfs-utils . I run client and server on F13. They
both are virtual machines managed by virt-manager.
I used your start script to make one of my own (I had to change to
argument to tgtadm related to the ip name of the iscsi array) but it was ok.
The only issue I have is about the ctl program. It stops as soon as it
starts with this message:
# ./ctl -u
write: File exists
I then ran strace to know more about it and it showed this:
munmap(0x7f5c533ac000, 47451) = 0
*open("/proc/fs/pnfs_block/ctl", O_RDWR) = 3*
*write(3, "\1\0\0\0", 4) = -1 EEXIST (File exists)*
dup(2) = 4
fcntl(4, F_GETFL) = 0x8002 (flags
O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE)
fstat(4, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0620, st_rdev=makedev(136, 0), ...}) = 0
mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS,
-1, 0) = 0x7f5c533b7000
lseek(4, 0, SEEK_CUR) = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek)
write(4, "write: File exists\n", 19write: File exists
) = 19
close(4) = 0
munmap(0x7f5c533b7000, 4096) = 0
exit_group(1) = ?
Apparently writing to /proc/fs/pnfs_block/ctl does not work. Do you have
an idea on what I should do to fix this ?
I have added a section on the block layout client to the Fedora client setup
wiki page:
http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Fedora_pNFS_Client_Setup
Is there a layoutdriver to modprobe on the client or is it embedded in
the kernel itself ?
