Hi everyone,
I'm testing latest STP patches for the 2.4.2 kernel as found on the
SGI's ftp site. Unfortunatelly, I am not able to use the STP protocol
because the machine which attempts to send STP data (I used the tstp
benchmark which is included in the stp tools) hangs immediatelly after
connect(). The receiver side is still receiving the connect attempt, but
then the sender hangs. Nothing goes to syslog and I can only hit the
reset button :-(
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I use 2 GA620 cards in 64/66 PCI slots. I
got also a precompiled kernel tree (2.4.0-test10) from someone who is
playing with STP too, which is an older release than mine. With the
2.4.0-test10 the tstp benchmark works (exactly the same hardware setup)
but for various block sizes given to the tstp benchmark I'm getting
strange I/O errors/timeouts. Sender lockup doesn't occure here.
Anybody working on better STP patches actually?
sincerely,
