THIS IS OUT OF DATE. The particular pnfs code described here is no longer under development.
File Layout
Accessing a storage system with pNFS
Step 0: Get pNFS kernel from the PNFS Development Git tree and install on all involved servers.
Step 1: Setup NFSv4 servers
- Create /etc/exports file on all DS's and the MDS.
/export *(rw,sync,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check)
Note: starting with 2.6.32-rc1, the "pnfs" export option is required.
/export *(rw,sync,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check,pnfs)
Until support for the "pnfs" export option is publicly released, please build and install exportfs, rpc.mountd, rpc.nfsd, and optionally, nfsstat from:
git://linux-nfs.org/~bhalevy/pnfs-nfs-utils.git To install just the required binaries: cp utils/exportfs/exportfs /usr/sbin/exportfs cp utils/mountd/mountd /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd cp utils/mountd/nfsd /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd cp utils/nfsstat/nfsstat /usr/sbin/nfsstat
- Tell the metadata server the IP addresses of the data servers:
echo "/dev/sdc:192.168.0.1,192.168.0.2" >/proc/fs/nfsd/pnfs_dlm_device
(replacing /dev/sdc by the name of the device hosting the exported gfs2 filesystem, and the ip addresses by the ip addresses of your data servers.)
- If the nfs service requires starting then run the following commands on the metadata server
/etc/init.d/nfs restart or rpc.mountd rpc.nfsd 8 exportfs -r
Step 2: Load Layout driver on clients
modprobe nfs_layout_nfsv41_files
Step 3: Mount pNFS file system.
- On pNFS client:
mount -t nfs4 -o minorversion=1 <mds_server>:/ /mnt/pnfs Note: Each file system has its own way of picking the MDS. Ensure you mount only the MDS and not a DS.
Debugging Help
- NFS debugging:
echo 32767 > /proc/sys/sunrpc/nfsd_debug echo 32767 > /proc/sys/sunrpc/nfs_debug
