如何编译安装最新版本orangefs

orangefs 2.10.0版本特性

orangefs 2.10.0添加了不少功能特性，作为pvfs的分支之一，orangefs是一个优秀的值得研究的并行文件系统，根据链接

可以知道这次的版本更新带了以下特性：

• general updates

1. numerous autotools related m4 files are updated.
2. code refactored in numerous places to eliminate compiler warnings from new versions of gcc.
3. documentation updates.

• Server
  1. updated formatting to conform to standard in simple-stripe code.
• Clients
  1. build liborangefs by default. liborangefs provides an orangefs version of posix system calls.
  2. Windows Client
     • Retargeted Client to the user mode file system library "dokany" v1.5.1.1000. (See https://github.com/dokan-dev/dokany)
     • Retargeted build to Visual Studio 2022.
     • Updated Event Logging for modern versions of Windows.
     • Removed obsolete security modes.
     • Updated the executable installer to install dokany and necessary Visual C++ runtime libraries.
     • Updated OpenSSL.
     • Made several quality-of-life improvements.
• bmi

1. Eliminated IBV_EVENT_WQ_FATAL warnings
2. Added a new RDMA module:
   • Utilizes the RDMA Communication Manager library (librdmacm), abstracting transport-specific details out of connection management
   • Adds RoCE v2 support to BMI
3. Added a new experimental InfiniBand module for future development:
   • Still a work in progress and minimally tested
   • Current experimental changes include:
   • Improved connection-based reference counting

安装过程

这里我使用的环境是fedora38，为什么使用这样一个系统版本，主要原因是在查看官方文档时，发现它对红帽系的支持更好，且2.10.0版本中，5.15.0以上的内核版本似乎提供更好的性能，所以我用了一个较新的系统版本，在生产环境中，应该更推荐almalinux9或者rocky9

我们先安装解决一些包的依赖问题：

sudo dnf update -y

sudo yum -y install gcc flex bison openssl-devel libattr-devel kernel-devel perl make automake

sudo dnf install -y "Development Tools"

然后下载2.10.0 release源码包

wget https://github.com/waltligon/orangefs/releases/download/v.2.10.0/orangefs-2.10.0.tar.gz

准备开始编译，先解压

tar zxf orangefs-2.10.0.tar.gz
cd orangefs

生成configure并检查缺少的包

./prepare

执行configure

./configure --prefix=/opt/orangefs --with-kernel=/lib/modules/6.5.5-200.fc38.x86_64/build/ --with-db-backend=lmdb --enable-shared --enable-epoll --enable-racache --enable-ucache --enable-visual

到这一步应该会出现下述报错：

configure: error: The kernel source tree does not appear to be 2.6 or 3.X or 4.X

这个问题我怀疑是configure里面还是指定需要4.*以下的内核版本，我们进去把这部分注释掉，如下述图片这样

error

安装

make & make install
