- Linux distribution and version Clear Linux (29870) - Linux Kernel and version 5.1.8 - InfiniBand hardware and firmware version Hardware version: MCX354A-FCBT (FDR) Firmware version: 2.42.5000 Problem: $ systemctl enable rdma Failed to enable unit: Unit file rdma.service does not exist. More background: I have 3 computers and 3 cards. Each card has 2 ports, so I'd like to directly link each computer and use infiniband with (Open)MPI. Clear Linux's package manager provides rdma and rdma-core, but doesn't provide rdma.service. I do not see a /usr/libexec/rdma-init-kernel, either. (Same story with other packages, like opensm). I made a comment on the Clear Linux community forum, and was told: """Upstream does not provide these files, and this is explained by the age of the project and the amount of development activity. This is one of those problems that should have been solved upstream. If we add unit files, they’re most likely not going to be correct since it’s unlikely that anyone on our team uses RDMA/opensm. YTEH - You’re The Expert Here. It would really help if you could investigate what the proper content of the unit files are, submit them upstream and Cc the clearlinux github issue tracker. Then we can make progress instead of blindly adding some untested and copied unit file from another distro.""" https://community.clearlinux.org/t/unit-file-opensm-service-does-not-exist-provide-opensm-service-files/762/4 I see for example that you provide support for Debian, Red Hat, and Suse. What is your policy towards other distributions (that aren't built on top of those three) / what are your recommendations? I am far from an expert, but I'd be happy to help if there's something I can do.
