Cannot load beegfs client kernel module: beegfs: disagrees about version

[Steve Eppert]

Hi,

I had previously installed mellanox OFED drivers which worked fine with BeeGFS. Now I wanted to switch to the kernel provided drivers.

I'm running on a Rocky 8.10 system with the latest beegfs 7.4.5

So I removed everything from the OFED installation (uninstall script from OFED install) and reinstalled the kernel rdma drivers.

 

[root@beegfs-client ~]# dnf list installed | grep rdma
librdmacm.x86_64                                   48.0-1.el8                                        @baseos
rdma-core.x86_64                                   48.0-1.el8                                        @baseos

ucx-rdmacm.x86_64                                  1.15.0-2.el8                                      @appstream

The client module builds fine but when I try to load it, I get this in my dmesg output:

...

...

Could some OFED parts mess around with the build?

Thanks for any hint!
