Hi all, 

We have a Beowulf class cluster built on Linux Fedora Core 3 (kernel
2.6.15). The cluster is disk-less (nodes don't have hard disks) based
on the Warewulf package. NFS traffic is reduced by using VNFS
filesystems at the nodes.

We found something strange related with NFS. For some files in user
accounts if we make some modifications to the file in the server, this
changes are not seen in the compute nodes. The NFS server is NFS3 and
with the standard configuration (8 instances of the server and default
parameters). The cluster has 20 nodes at this time, but we have made
experiments with a `cloned' cluster and even with only two nodes the
problem persist. 

The experiment is as follows: We change a text file in a user account
with Emacs and checking whether the change is seen in the compute
nodes. Sometimes the change is immediately seen in the compute nodes,
but many times some nodes don't see the change. 

This happens even when the cluster is idle (no computing or network
load in the slave nodes, neither on the server), so it's not a problem
of performance. It is plainly working bad.

Below are the `rpcinfo -p' and `nfsstat' on the server and on the
client. The version of nfs-utils are 1.0.6. 

We tried several combinations for the export and mount options
(sync/async...) with no success. 

Any help is appreciated,

TIA, Mario

I see now that perhaps my reference to VNFS is somewhat obscure. VNFS
is basically a RAM disk at the nodes (in our case of size 50MB
approx.) with typically `light' directories /etc, /bin, /lib... 

http://www.warewulf-cluster.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/wiki/VNFS

The `heavy' directories like /usr and /home are exported via standard
NFS, so that the VNFS issue is not directly related with the problem. 

On the other hand we tried to switch to NFS version 2 and the problem 
persists. 

Thanks, Mario

What is the local file system type being exported on the NFS servers?

    Thanx...

It is software RAID mounted on top of XFS. At first time we suspected
of this combination, and the first thing we do is to clone the system
on a plain ext3 filesystem without RAID. The cloned cluster with two
nodes exhibited exactly the same behaviour, so we don't think now that
the problem is in the combination of NFS with RAID+XFS. It ssems to be
something in the NFS setup/configuration itself. 

Thanks, Mario

I see.

I see from the nfsstat output that this job mix is _very_ heavily write
intensive.  I might suspect that this may be contributing to the issue
being seen.  The consistency for files is very relaxed when those files
are being written to.

Are any special mount parameters being used?

    Thanx...

       ps

The `nfsstat' results that I sent were cumulative. I learn now that in
theory we can zero them with `-z', but it seems not to work. Perhaps
there is some intense traffic when the slaves boot but not at the time
of making the `experiment'.  At that time the NFS traffic es
_extremely_ low. We change only a small text file (for reference it's
my ~/.bashrc) and check if the changes are reflected in the
nodes. There are no applications running at the nodes. 
 
> Are any special mount parameters being used?

No, we tried vers=2 for forcing version 2, also tried `noac'. Also
tried `async/sync' at the server side. None had effect on the
problem. `noac' of course reflected in a lack of efficiency, but the
problem persists. 

Thanks, Mario

I wouldn't have thought that there would be intense write activity when
the systems are booting.  I could see lots of read activity, but the
stats didn't show that much compared with the number of writes.

I wouldn't think that sync/async would have any effect on this sort
of consistency.  Those options more control when the data/metadata is
actually flushed to stable storage, whether before the server responds
to the specific request or sometime after.

Can you get a raw tethereal capture file which shows the issue?  Perhaps
a capture which includes reading the original contents of the file and
then reading it again after the file is modified on the server or by
another client?  Perhaps from that we can get some clues as to where the
problem might be.

    Thanx...

OK. Good idea. I added a line with `#jaja12' to my file `~/.bashrc'
and verified that all nodes see the change. Then I modify the line
with Emacs in the server to `#jaja13' and svae, then to `#jaja14' and
save, and to `#jaja15'. Some nodes acknowledge the change but others
not. If I do a `parallel grep' I obtain the following

================================================================
[mstorti@aquiles ~]$ pdsh -a 'grep jaja ~/.bashrc'
node2: # jaja12
node1: # jaja15
node9: # jaja15
node10: # jaja14
node11: # jaja12
node13: # jaja15
node20: # jaja15
node3: # jaja15
node17: # jaja12
node4: # jaja15
node7: # jaja12
node8: # jaja15
node18: # jaja15
node6: # jaja12
node14: # jaja14
node12: # jaja15
node16: # jaja14
node5: # jaja15
node19: # jaja14
node15: # jaja15
[mstorti@aquiles ~]$ 
================================================================

So I choose for instance `node2' which has still the "# jaja12"
string. Then 

* I open a shell in node2,  
* Launch a `tethereal' filtering the
        communication between the server (192.168.0.201) and node2
        (192.168.0.2).
* I do a grep in node2

    [mstorti@node2 ~]$ grep jaja .bashrc
    # jaja12
    [mstorti@node2 ~]$ 

* and I close the `tethereal'. 

What I obtain is the following:

================================================================
[root@aquiles ~]# tethereal -i eth0 host aquiles and host node2

Do you see something in there? I am studying it, but I didn't know
enough of NFS for understaing it yet. 

Thank for your help, Mario

Actually, what I asked about was a "raw capture file".  I think that
the values returned in the GETATTR calls may be interesting.  To see
them, we need more then just the summary lines.

Can you do this again, but have tethereal capture into a file (via
the -w option) and then attach that file to a note to me or this list,
please?

    Thanx...

       ps
