Hi all clusterNFS users, I decide to use cluserNFS for my purposes in = creating a cluster of Pc for parallel programming. I note cNFS is more f= lexible and manageable than the classic nfs daemon. By default cNFS shar= es all files.I think it is problem when OS (like linux) uses files as fla= gs to remember it that something happens or not. In practice: I share= d the entire root partion of the server to the clients (I have omogeneous= PCs). Each time a client starts, it looks for /.autofsck (the file exis= ts between the mount action of this filesystems and correspect umount o= f the same one). If it finds out it a force check is performed on that f= ilesystem. The problem is that file is shared about all server and clien= ts! The result is clients performe check everytime they start because se= rver created it. How (and this is, finally, my question) can I hide file= s to clients? Have I change the behaviour of master node forcing it to= manage a /.autofsck$$HOST=3DMASTER$$ instead of /.autofsck so client n= ever will see it? This case I must controle all OS script where /.autofs= ck is mentioned and I would not correct files of my distrbution (RH 8.0= ) Did you encounter the same problem? How did you resolv it? Thanks= to everybody who will help me. Alex Macuz |
