Updated pNFS Developmental kernel repository

Updated pNFS Developmental kernel repository

[Steve Dickson]

Hello,

I've updated the Fedora pNFS development repository to include the
Fedora 13, 14 and Devel kernels that have the latest pNFS bits:
    Tag: pnfs-all-2.6.35-2010-08-19

The Fedora 13 kernel is kernel-2.6.34.5-43.pnfs34.2010.08.19.fc13.<arch>.rpm
The Fedora 14/Devel kernel is kernel-2.6.35.2-9.pnfs35.2010.08.19.fc14.<arch>.rpm
(Note: there are also kernel-debuginfo and kernel-devel rpms for people who 
use things like systemtap probes).

There is no longer support for Fedora 12 kernels.

Instructions on how to install and use these kernels are at:
http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Fedora_pNFS_Client_Setup

 If/when bugs are found with these rpms please enter them
in to the NFS Bugzilla Main Page at:
    https://bugzilla.linux-nfs.org/index.cgi

Please use the "pNFS" keyword.. 

Any question or issues please feel free to contact me...

Very cool... I try to incorporate this into the upcoming nfs-utils...

Because at the end of day, the distro "powers to be" are really 
against more init scripts... more init script means a longer time
to boot... and it seems fast reboots are the new in thing to have...
(which is a good thing.. :-) )

I include /etc/modprobe.d/nfsv41 into rpms  which I build for our
systems (RHEL5) with following content:

alias nfs-layouttype4-1 nfs_layout_nfsv41_files
alias nfs-layouttype4-2 off
alias nfs-layouttype4-3 off


and following  into the spec file:

%config(noreplace) /etc/modprobe.d/nfsv41

I made it part of kernel rpm, but may be nfs-utils is more appropriate
place.

I think that's too complicated.
Why not export a well known symbol from the layout driver,
encoding the layout type, to be looked up by the kernel?

One feature I want to do for a long time is to automatically
load the driver from the kernel and eventually add a mount option
to optionally load a layoutdriver on demand, or disable pnfs
for this mount altogether.  For example:

pnfs=(auto|none|<layout_driver>|<layout_type>)

The current code is designed to request the loading of the module as
needed.  All that is needed is an alias, of the type

alias nfs-layouttype4-[INTEGER_ID] ACTUAL_MODULE_NAME

  Unfortunately yes... I have not figured out a good way to have
  the mobprobe done on the client since, in general, init scripts
  don't run on the client (with the exception of rpc.statd and rpc.gssd).
  
  I guess I could come up with an pnfs init script..but that
  seems like a bit overkill just to do a modprobe... 

I've already got an init script for the block layout client that does the
modprobe and starts the daemon.  How about we generalize it to modprobe the
other modules too, and call it the pnfs init script?

Re: Updated pNFS Developmental kernel repository

[Fred Isaman]

With recent code, you don't need a modprobe on the client.  All you
need to do is set up an alias.

In some /etc/modprobe.d file put:

alias nfs-layouttype4-1 nfs_layout_nfsv41_files

Unfortunately yes... I have not figured out a good way to have
the mobprobe done on the client since, in general, init scripts
don't run on the client (with the exception of rpc.statd and rpc.gssd).

I guess I could come up with an pnfs init script..but that
seems like a bit overkill just to do a modprobe...
