[BProc] Node partitions and permissions

[Miguel C. <mc...@fc...>]

Hello all.

I was just asked to install a small cluster of 3 Dual Athlon machines so
I took another shot at Clustermatic - I'm still running Scyld on another
cluster but I'm close to leaving it - ( I can quit any time I want to,
really :) ).

Now, the cluster is up and running but I have two problems:

first, although the documentation says that when the nodes are "up" the
permissions are set to execute for all, they are only execute for user -
I have to run bpctl -S all -m 111 manually. It doesn't work to add this
to /etc/beowulf/node_up because the node status is still "boot" at this
point, I guess. I took a look at master.c and it seems to me that the
node_up_result routine, which sets node status to "up", is setting the
right permissions (S_IXUSR | S_IXGRP | S_IXOTH), so what is changing
them back?

the second problem is mounting node partitions: I can't get swap to work
but beoboot's setupfs.c says this is on the todo list. However, mounting
a ext2 or ext3 partition also fails, without explanation on the logs.
/home is nfs mounted from the server, so I just wanted to know if
setupfs is broken or I'm still doing something wrong.

Gotta take a look at bjs, now :)

Miguel
