Hi,
we are testing Rocky Linux 8.4 and found a problem when trying to install BeeGFS: it seems the Mellanox OFED driver version is not compatible with the version of BeeGFS we want to install.
We need BeeGFS 7.2.3 but Rocky 8.4 ships OFED 5.4 which is not supported and the auto build balks at some changed headers in OFED 5.4.
Is there a way to build the kernel module such that
[root@dp-cn50 build]# modinfo beegfs
filename:
/lib/modules/4.18.0-305.7.1.el8_4.x86_64/updates/fs/beegfs_autobuild/beegfs.ko
version: 7.2.3
alias: fs-beegfs
author: Fraunhofer ITWM, CC-HPC
description: BeeGFS parallel file system client (http://www.beegfs.com)
license: GPL v2
rhelversion: 8.4
srcversion: 533BB7E5866E52F63B9ACCB
depends: ib_core,rdma_cm *** depends on ib_core,
rdma_cm ***
name: beegfs
vermagic: 4.18.0-305.7.1.el8_4.x86_64 SMP mod_unload modversions
we get rid of the ib_core and rdma_cm dependencies?
Or even better: Is there a release date for OFED 5.4 support?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Cheers,
Cristina Manzano

Hi,
thank you all for your feedback. The issue had to do with the installed OFED package: we were using one precompiled rpm and this seemed to be breaking things for us. So now we downloaded the driver from the official Mellanox site and compiled it from scratch with ./mlnxofedinstall -vvv --add-kernel-support --distro RHEL8.4. Things are working fine now.
Best regards,
Cristina Manzano

Hi,
small correction just in case it helps someone, these were actually the options used for the compilation:
./mlnxofedinstall -vvv --add-kernel-support --distro RHEL8.4 --without-fw-update
Best,
