Created attachment 3681 [details] spec file for lustre-client Lustre FS works on Mageia-2 =========================== At Metefrance research, the standard workstation is a Linux Box under Mageia2. There are also servers and a small HPC (20 nodes) running on the same distribtuion. Of course we dispose also of a large HPC , dedicated to forecast models an big climate models that i am not responsible. NFS was the network file system we used to share our data (30 servers, 500 workstations). But i plan to use LustreFS, more scalable, to offer a one large vision of our space. So i compiled and packaged the last release of lustre-client, developped by whamcloud, for Mageia-2 distribution. I think is a good thing because of a professionnal use of Mageia distribution around the scientific comunnity. So i join a spec file to my message after fifteen days of positive tests. Sorry for my english Lustre FS client fonctionne sur Mageia-2 ========================================= Je ne sais pas si vous suivez cet aspect sinon ce qui suit peut vous informer. Au centre de recherche de Meteofrance, tous les chercheurs disposent d'un poste sous Linux mageia-2, d'un ensemble de serveurs de fichiers et d'un cluster d'une vingtaine de noeuds egalement sous Mageia-2 que j'administre. Ces ressources sont completes par la mise a disposition d'un HPC qui sert essentiellemnt a l'exploitation et a la recherche des modeles de previsions et de climat (dont je ne suis pas responsable). Jusqu'a maintenant, les serveurs de fichiers etaient connectes a un SAN iSCSI et offraient leur espace par NFS (~30 serveurs, ~20 clients NFS/serveur). La nouvelle organisation sera architecturee autour d'un FS LUSTRE, bien plus scalable, et offrira une vision globale sur tout l'espace. Il se trouve que j'ai pu faire fonctionner le client lustre sur Mageia 2 sur les kernels 3.4.24 et maintenant 3.4.34. Whamcloud, a l'origine de la version 2 de LUSTRE a oeuvre pour permettre au futur client lustre de s'integrer au kernel sans patch. La version 2.3.62 parait suffisamment mure pour fonctionner. Il me semble que la chose n'est pas sans interet dans la mesure ou Mageia peut apparaitre comme une solution mure pour le poste de travail ou serveur dans le milieu professionnel scientifique. Rares sont encore les distributions qui peuvent declarer etre compatible avec client lustre. (a ma connaissance Chors Redhat/Centos/SLinux, je ne connais que Fedora et Ubuntu et encore pas n'importe qu'elle release). Je vous transmets le fichier spec utilise, que l'on peut fortement ameliorer. Bien que mes tests ne soient pas exhaustifs, aucune erreur n'a ete trouve depuis 15 jours apres 30To d'echanges avec plusieurs clients. Michel TYTECA (michel.tyteca@meteo.fr)
Thanks Michel. WIP! :-)

Hi Michel, Can I try to package 2.4.51 or do you think 2.3.65 is better (for cauldron for now)? Moreover, do you want this package in Mageia 2 or in Mageia 3?
Changing version to Cauldron for keeping this request. When Mageia 2 will be in End Of Life in a little more than one month, we will close these version bugs. If the package is present in Mageia 3 or Cauldron, you can close this bug. Thanks. -- Mageia Bugsquad
Version: 2 => Cauldron

Assigning back to Bug Squad, because Damien went MIA @ Michel tyteca You never replied to Damien's question in comment 2, does that mean you are no longer interested in having this packaged?

Hi all, Lustre is a great distributed filesystem... i think we should definitely consider packaging it (server and client). For huge and distributed data storage it's very good and even us could use it for our build system ! So even if Michel did not answer yet i think we don't want to close this issue. Bests,

Assigning this package request to all packagers collectively. On a voluntary basis, one of them might want to integrate it to the distribution and maintain it for bug and security fixes. You might also want to join the packager team to maintain this piece of software: see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager

Sorry, bugs@ml and pkg-bugs@ml members, for the avalanche. 72 bugs with the "New RPM package request" component, had a severity of "normal" or more, which can lead to losing precious time when searching Bugzilla for bugs that urgently need to get fixed Now mass-changing that to "enhancement", as it should be for package requests. https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_report_a_bug_properly#How_to_file_a_package_request @ the reporter of this package request Please check in http://madb.mageia.org/ whether this software did already get packaged, and close this bug report if it did. Please do also close it if you find a package with the same purpose, that meets your needs.
Severity: normal => enhancement
