Dracut is an udev based initramfs generator. We use it instead of a more tradicional script using initramfs-tools, like pelicanhpc does, because : - initramfs-tools doesn't support nfs4. We thought nfs4 support was something quite important, because its cache infraestructure could be a real gain. - initramfs-tool boot scripts can be are really complex. Casper is the initramfs script used in Ubuntu live cds, which creates the writable overlay. It also allows to boot from a nfs export, and use a persistent overlay. Casper main script has 722 lines : $ wc -l /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper 722 /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper It also set ups lots of things during the initramfs stage : 14locales 18hostname 19keyboard 20xconfig 31disable_update_notifier 32disable_hibernation 33enable_apport_crashes 34disable_kde_services 35fix_language_selector ... We don't need so much things in a cluster node. A dracut based approach was much simpler : http://kestrelhpc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/kestrelhpc/Kestrelhpc/Src/dracut/union_mount_with_aufs.diff?revision=25&content-type=text/plain&pathrev=40 We only needed to create a module which provides a writable overlay using aufs. The only problem is that Debian Dracut packages needed to be updated, so we did : http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-initramfs/msg01625.html Regards, Jon Ander. |

Hello everybody!! I've just published a kestrelhpc 2.x development snapshot. There are plenty of things to do before we realease a stable release... and definitely this is not a production release (I'll be surprised if it works, hehe). 0:-) We where only testing how launchpad works, but anyone who wants to take a look to the project can test them. If you try them, note that there will be troubles with Dracut because by default when it is installed it will not create a Dracut based initramfs. This is not my fault, I'm not allowed to do so : http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-initramfs/msg01665.html So we will need to work around it somehow. Regards, Jon Ander. |

It seems as if I didn't have the rights to change the permission levels of the files. I will try this afternoon, but if you want upload everything to SVN and I will upload it to the web server. All the breast, Denis PS: Yes, I did it intentionally, jeje 2010/11/23 Jon Ander Hernandez <jo...@gm...> > Hi Denis, > > 2010/11/17 Denis Sánchez Argoitia <dar...@gm...>: > > Yes you have the rights. > > > > http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Project%20web > > > > your user name is jonanh,kestrelhpc > > Add me to the kestrelhpc group (of the webpage).

My patches were reviewed and they were approved but I need to test them under a pbuilder enviroment before they are committed. I've been to busy so I haven't done it yet. Those patches fix some problems in the upstream package, but note that they don't include the aufs module. When they get in the mainstream we will only have to ship out module. For now, we will have to include out Dracut packages in our ppa. See the dracut dir at the source, and read the readme file. > Keep up the good work Jonanh, I've fixed the last lintian error (look the svn), so when this evening I will try to upload packages to the ppa. Regards, JonAn. |

2010/11/22 Denis Sánchez Argoitia <dar...@gm...>: > Isn't it better to create a ppa for the project itself?? Of course it does. But remember ppa means "personal package archive". I only have access to my user's ppa. We need a kestrelhpc team but you created a kestrelhpc user, not a kestrelhpc team, so only you can use your ppa.

Hello, Today I have tried to create the .deb package but I was asked for Jonanh's gpg key, which is in one way something feasible. Is there a possibility to leave the package creation open to anyone or does each of the developers or people who want to create the .deb have to change the file to look for each developer's signature? Best wishes, Denis PS: Welcome to the new developers. |

Don't worry. Leave the web-page stuff to me.

I think that definitely the web and the project page should suggest that the latest version is actually deprecated. I don't have much time this week, so don't expect a new release this week :-S.

Hello people, I think that in the web page we should consider two things. First, including a simple link to web sourceforge project web page and secondly, maybe to consider to take the download file out, or at least disable it. What do you think people? |
