[ofa-general] OFED 1.4.1 breaks SLES10 SP2 NFS server ?

[Ciesielski, Frederic (EMEA HPC&OSLO CC)]

Yes, that will do it;
I think I already tried to remove this option from the 'install.pl menu and rebuild, but probably the previous rpms were kept. Restarting from scratch and removing the nfs-rdma option permits not to have this updated NFS kernel modules, and things work now...

Thanks.
Fred.

If you don't want/need NFSRDMA (especially since it appears to not work 
well on sles10sp2), you can build/install ofed-1.4.1 with nfsrdma turned 
off.  Assuming you're installing "all" when you run install.pl, you'll 
have to run install.pl and choose a custom install and select everything 
except nfsrdma.

Does that make sense?

Steve.
