Hi Guys, i know, no one is using block-layout (it looks like ;D) and i also know that's not actively maintained, but i try to set up a block-layout server together with pnfs. i found these two wiki pages: http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/PNFS_Block_Server_Setup_Instructions http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Fedora_pNFS_Client_Setup till now i did the following: setup Storage and client described in the howtos (using iscsi-storages). i used parted to give labels to my devices and so on. Ctl-daemon is running on the server and i got following output: [root@blkserver sbin]# /root/ctl/ctl -u [root@blkserver sbin]# Processing: MSG_VERS : Version: 8 Processing: MSG_VERS : Version: 8 Processing: MSG_DMCHK : DM Volume: True Processing: MSG_DMGET : Vol info: 0 6291456 striped 2 128 8:17 2048 8:33 2048 major 8, minor 17 major 8, minor 33 Processing: MSG_GETSIG : get_sig: 8:17: get_sig: Got sig at: 1, within sector 56, len 16 42 f6 2e 24 cc ed 69 46 8b cb 0b 82 fa 5a a4 1a Processing: MSG_GETSLICE: get_slice: 8:17: Dev: 8:17, Start: 34, Length: 4196285 Processing: MSG_GETSIG : get_sig: 8:33: get_sig: Got sig at: 1, within sector 56, len 16 8c 62 64 e7 a7 6b 1a 4f a3 21 bd d1 f6 d4 a9 a1 Processing: MSG_GETSLICE: get_slice: 8:33: Dev: 8:33, Start: 34, Length: 4196285 iscsi-targets with the cliet are connected. on client-side i did the instructions from the howto. But the output from blkmpad looks a little bit curious: [root@Client2 sbin]# ./blkmapd -f blkmapd: process_deviceinfo: 5 vols blkmapd: decode_blk_signature: si_comps[0]: bs_length 16, bs_string ���#�� A��a��0^ blkmapd: read_cmp_blk_sig: /dev/sdb sig ���#�� A��a��0^� at 568 blkmapd: decode_blk_volume: simple 0 blkmapd: decode_blk_volume: slice 1 0�Bhapd: decode_blk_signature: si_comps[0]: bs_length 16, bs_string � L�R�_�FI 0�Bhapd: read_cmp_blk_sig: /dev/sdc sig � L�R�_�FI� at 568 blkmapd: decode_blk_volume: simple 2 blkmapd: decode_blk_volume: slice 3 blkmapd: process_deviceinfo: 5 vols blkmapd: decode_blk_signature: si_comps[0]: bs_length 16, bs_string ���#�� A��a��0^ blkmapd: read_cmp_blk_sig: /dev/sdb sig ���#�� A��a��0^� at 568 blkmapd: decode_blk_volume: simple 0 blkmapd: decode_blk_volume: slice 1 0�Bhapd: decode_blk_signature: si_comps[0]: bs_length 16, bs_string � i can mount and transer files, but no LAYOUTGET-Operation appears in Wireshark. In /proc/self/mountstat are only 0s... at LAYOUTGET, LAYOUTCOMMIT and LAYOUTRETURN. I used kernel 3.3.0 from git://linux-nfs.org/~bhalevy/linux-pnfs.git, block-layout module is loaded i attached some wireshark output, maybe someone can help me. It would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Best Regards Johannes
