| 1 | Hello, |
| 2 | |
| 3 | we're using orangefs as a distributed parallel file system in our |
| 4 | cluster. I opened a bug for it some time ago: |
| 5 | https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411173 |
| 6 | |
| 7 | ATM some file there are outdated and it is better to use orangefs |
| 8 | from my overlay (sorry, I can't update files in the bug for each |
| 9 | little change): |
| 10 | http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=user/bircoph.git;a=tree;f=sys-cluster/orangefs;h=c5c01fdc40c03cbb01c1702a6732d79f087403ab;hb=HEAD |

| 12 | This filesystem has its problems, mostly with recent kernels in its |
| 13 | kernel interface. But alternative fuse client is available and works |
| 14 | really good for our tasks. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | If someone can proxy-maintain this package for me, I can support it |
| 17 | for the benefit of all Gentoo community. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | P.S. OrangeFS-2.8.6 was recently released, I'll work on it in a while, |
| 20 | but ATM cluster is in production and I can't stop it for an upgrade |
| 21 | and testing. Hopefully 2.8.6 will fix kernel issues we have, so we'll |
| 22 | be able to get rid of fuse. |
