my goal is to have everything running on my fabric- NFS/RDMA, MPI,
IPoverIB, SDP.

my current status is:

- Tom Tucker's git tree compiled and running
- compiled OFED from
  http://www.mellanox.com/downloads/NFSoRDMA/OFED-1.2-NFS-RDMA.gz
  (whatever it is - who knows?) - MPI is working, SDP not.

- nfs-utils 1.1.1 compiled and:

nfs server start:
#!/bin/sh
/etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap restart
modprobe nfs
umount /proc/fs/nfsd
mount -t nfsd /proc/fs/nfsd
exportfs -av
rpc.mountd
rpc.statd --no-notify
rpc.nfsd
sm-notify

# cat /etc/exports
/scratch 10.2.2.2(no_subtree_check,insecure,rw,async,no_root_squash)

nfs client start:
#!/bin/sh
/etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap restart
modprobe nfs
sm-notify

# mount.rnfs -o rdma=10.2.2.1 10.2.2.1:/scratch /mnt
Doing nfs/rdma mount to 10.2.2.1, mount protocol to 10.2.2.1
nfsmount: Invalid argument
