Has anyone managed to get BeeGFS working on debian 11 or kernel 5.10?

[Hornoiu Andrei]

Hello,

we recently got some new hardware that require newer kernels than the default debian 10 linux 4.19 version. We can get the server to work with the 5.10 kernel from backports or the debian 11 image.

We're encoutering issues getting beegfs-client to compile in either cases, errors reported on /etc/init.d/beegfs-client rebuild as follows:

Hi! I also plan to install BeeGFS on Deb11, any progress Andrei? Otherwise one is left with ceph...

Cheers,

Hi Paul, Andrei,

you may have noticed that on Friday, BeeGFS 7.2.5 was tagged (I didn't spot a release
notification though).
First impression: in Debian Bullseye, packages still can't be built.
Next I'll attempt to install the Buster client dkms package, but I'm rather pessimistic
(which will increase the joy should it eventually work ;-).

Last time it took almost a year from Debian Buster release until BeeGFS Buster support,
perhaps there will be support for Ubuntu 22.04 shortly after that's been released (and
Debian has just the wrong release cycle).

- S

[Steffen Grunewald]

Hello Andrei,

since I had asked a similar question on this list on Oct 20 (and got no answers),
and also wans't able to attent the last two "Stammtisch" events: Has there been
any response?

IIRC it took about one year after the Buster release to get support for Debian stable.
I sincerely hope it won't take that long for Bullseye...

Cheers,
Steffen

Hello Steffen,

just out of interest: In case BeeGFS is long time in the coming for Deb11, what is your substitute?

cepth?

Paul

Debian Stretch/Buster, as old it is :'( as I don't have the extra space to
duplicate 300 TB of data into yet another FS.

I am also waiting for a working release for debian 11. We put migration on hold pending a solution.

Thanks,

Hi,

I guess the problem is that BeeGFS still has no plan to get rid of set_fs:

https://lwn.net/Articles/832121/

Linux-5.10 is so buggy anyway, and I'm not a kernel expert so didn't want to contribute to this.

Now that Linux-5.14 is stabilizing. I think it's time for BeeGFS to move on.

[André Gemünd]

On the BeeGFS BOF at Supercomputing it was reported that porting away from set_fs() is already underway and expected for next year iirc.

Best

André

Hi,

I could patch beegfs client (7.1.5) to work in Debian 11 / kernel 5.10, you may want to look at my patches (https://github.com/osallou/beegfs-patch/pull/2/files)

I also made deb packages for this release (https://github.com/osallou/beegfs-patch/releases/tag/7.1.5_k5.10-client-beta)

It "works" (ie client module compiles and have access to files etc..) but there is no guarantee nor support (I am not a kernel nor beegfs code expert), and work was done on 7.1.5 version only.

You may anyway use my patches or get inspiration/see what was done to fix/adapt to other releases, waiting for an official release.

[Tobias Jakobi]

Hi everyone,

It's been two month since the last post - are there any updates or maybe an ETA for Debian 11 support?

I'm setting up a new instance now and wonder if I can skip the Debian 11 upgrade later on by waiting a bit longer for the official support?

Thank you,

Tobias

Hi,

I've tried the patched 7.1.5 from this chain on some of our machines. Had to compile them from source, the profided .deb files don't seem to install correctly due to dependencies. It has been quite hit and miss. It gets mounted on all, but some work, some kernel panic of first real IO attempt. Haven't been able to spot the pattern that is causing this. Also worth mentioning, IB and RDMA is not working at all with the patched client. 

Sure looks like we have to wait some more for official support.

Cheers

Andrei

Hi,

Did you test with the release https://github.com/osallou/beegfs-patch/releases/tag/7.1.5_k5.10_v2 ?

Mentioned version 7.1.5_k5.10-client-beta had indeed issues when writing over buffer size... 

Regarding rdma/ib, i could not test in my facility, so indeed may fail.... i just took care it compiles... 

Do you have a scenario to get the failure (kernel panic or access failure) ? Would be interested to reproduce this on my side.

Sorry you lost some time...
