Minutes
2.10 Release Update
Peter
- We are down to 9 issues tracking with FixVersion 2.10, 5 of which have a fix in the ready state and is in gatekeeper testing.
- One outstanding issue is LU-9073 that James has been working on and Sebastian Buisson providing feedback.
- The good news is that John fixed the workaround and it is ready. Sebastian has been testing due to having a kerberos setup to use.
- LU-9049 we have a fix that we believe works and is undergoing further testing.
- Two issues which are the long poles at the moment are LU-9405 and LU-9485. We are still isolating what the problem is there. These may be become blockers once we understand the issue.
- On the documentation front, NRS delay policy, Project Quota, and multi-rail have patches in flight that are undergoing refinement.
- James: We are getting an ARM machine soon and likely will need the last 2 patches from LU-8703. There are two patches left and trying to get reviewers to look at them before code freeze.
Upstream Lustre Client
James
- Submitted a bunch of cleanups. James reports that they are thinking of phasing out the 80 character issue.
- Andreas: The logic for it is really is that it effects the number of terminals you can have open on one screen without line wrapping.
- James: Linus is thinking about going to 100.
lustre.org
Ken
- We decided to delay server upgrades until after LUG and will look do it before the next LWG call.
- There is interest in putting together a Lustre tutorial. The thinking on this is to submit it as a BOF session at SC this year. Will start engaging people interested in collaborating on it. Any thoughts?
- Peter: Is the thinking to have the BOF for new Lustre developers?
- Ken:Yes
- Peter: Is anyone on the call attending SC that could participate?
- Dustin: May be going and might be able to participate.
- Peter: What do you envision us needing for content? For a BOF it would have to be 60-90 min in length. Is this reasonable?
- Discussion ensued around thoughts of what is best addressed in getting started. General consensus was it would be difficult to accomplish this in that sort of time frame.
- If engineers were able to download items ahead of time and prepare, then it comes down to probably about 60 min of actual training time.
- To be successful at this based on hackathon, a good idea of number of participants is needed and at least enough helpers to have 1 engineer available for every 3 engineers in training.
- Peter: Is the thinking to have the BOF for new Lustre developers?
Other Business
- Peter: Any thoughts on Developer Day or the hackathon from those that attended?
- Ben: Developer Day went really well. Hackathon would have been better with a bit more structure to it with having working groups set up in advance.
- Peter: I agree and we thought we had this set up in advance, but we didn’t execute well on it at the event.
- Cory: I thought hackathon was pretty cool and maybe we should have devoted my time to it. Once we started people wanted to go off and join the social event.
- Ken: The time pressure issue could be fixed, maybe post-LUG event with RSVP and topics set up in advance would be better.
Next meeting will be on 2017-06-29 at 11:00am Pacific
