[lustre-discuss] lnetctl & /etc/sysconfig/lnet.conf Usage

[Di Natale, Giuseppe]

Hi Eli,


Thanks for the response! From my understanding, /etc/sysconfig is intended to contain files which are sourceable by shell scripts. Below is a link to a blog post that does a good job explaining.

To me, /etc/ is the catch all for other system level configuration that isn't part of some daemon. But, I could be wrong on that and would welcome other opinions. I am by no means an expert myself.

Greetings  everyone,


I am working on a patch to move /etc/sysconfig/lnet.conf to /etc/lnet.conf. For those interested in the patch, it can be found at https://review.whamcloud.com/#/c/26971/.

I am no expert on LSB but should it be under plain /etc/ and not say /etc/lustre/ or /etc/lnet/ at least? (where the logical thing to me is /etc/lustre but I understand there are plans to seperate between lustre and lnet)
Also what is bad about /etc/sysconfig/ (other then it being fairly RH specific)?
HTH,
Eli


The patch, even though it is simple, could impact those already using lnetctl & /etc/sysconfig/lnet.conf. So if you are using those to configure lnet, please do let me know. I'm trying to get an idea of how many sites use it before the change gets accepted.


Thanks,

Giuseppe Di Natale
