Hello,
I'm planning to set up a small openMosix-Cluster with 2.6 Kernels.
The nodes will be connectet via gigabit ethernet and over iSCSI.
The master-node will export an LVM-storage via iSCSI.
I'll use the following setup:
iscsitarget-0.4.12 ( needs Kernel >= 2.6.13 )
open-iscsi-0.4-434 ( needs Kernel >= 2.6.11 )
To solve the problem with the concurrent write acces on files
I'll set up an OCFS2-Filesystem (ocfs2-1.1.6).
But OCFS2 needs at least Kernel 2.6.13-rc5. 2.6.14 would be fine.
Does anybody know where I can find that kernelpatch? Or is it possible to
apply the actual patch-2.6.12-om-r577 on a 2.6.14-Kernel?
Thank you,
Torben Keil

> I What is it?

> Quantian is a remastering of Knoppix, the

> workstation, and (parts of) clusterKnoppix, which adds support for
> openMosix-based cluster computing. However, Quantian differs from

> quantitative or data-driven
> fields to the solid base provided by Knoppix.

> II What Quantian highlights should I care about ?
>
> o First release based on Knoppix 4.0.2: Derived from the
> cdrom version of
> Knoppix, Quantian utilises the unionfs setup of Knoppix
> to combine two
> compressed loop images for a total of 2.5 gb (from two
> files of 2.0 gb
> and 425 mb) corresponding to almost 7 gb of software.
>
> o KDE 3.4, Kernel 2.6.12; added backport of kernel 2.4.27
> with openMosix
> patch for continued openMosix support [ but note that
> openMosix and
> unionfs seem to conflict so kernel 2.4.27 only sees the first
> compressed loop image ]
>
> o Some highlights in 0.7.9.1 are
>
> - very complete R support with over 800 packages (28
> from 'core R',
> another 70 from Debian packages, and 724 directly
> installed from
> CRAN and BioConductor, covering over 99% of all
> packages at CRAN
> and BioConductor [ not counting a handful of windows-only CRAN
> packages ] ), ESS editing in Emacs/XEmacs, GGobi
> visualization,
> Rpad webinterface, and initial support for the RKward GUI;
>
> - even stronger bioinformatics/biology support than before:
> BioConductor, arb, biofox, bioperl, biopython,
> blast2, boxshade,
> bugsx, clustalw, fastdnaml, fastlink, garlic,
> gromacs, hmmer, loki,
> mipe, molphy, muscle, ncbi, phylip, rasmol, readseq, seaview,
> t-coffee, textopo, and more;
>
> - continued strong mathematics / computational algrebra
> support: axiom,
> blacs, calc, euler, gap, giac, mathomatic, maxima,
> pari, scalapack,
> scilab, texmacs, yacas, yorick;

> grace, grass, gri, illuminator, kst, labplot, mayavi,
> matplot, proj,
> plplot, plotmtv, rasmol, starplot, vtk, xd3d, xgraph, ygraph;
>
> - large number of programming and scripting languages, editors,
