Hi there

The welcome mail said that a brief introduction might be in order. So let’s
start with that, just jump over this paragraph if that’s not of interest.
So, Henrik is the name. I’m the CTO at a Swedish film production company
with our own internal post production operation. At the heart of that we
have a 1.8PB DDN MediaScaler with GPFS in a mixed macOS and Windows
environment. The mac clients just use NFS but the Windows clients use the
native GPFS client. We have a couple of successful windows deployments.

But… Now when we’re replacing one of those windows clients I’m running into
some seriously frustrating ball busting shenanigans. Basically this client
gets stuck on (from mmfs.log.latest) "PM: mounting /dev/ddnnas0” . Nothing
more happens. Just stuck and it never mounts.

I have reinstalled it multiple times with full clean between, removed
cygwin and the root user account and everything. I have verified that
keyless ssh works between server and all nodes, including this node. With
my limited experience I don’t find enough to go on in the logs nor windows
event viewer. I’m honestly totally stuck.

I’m using the same version on this clients as on the others. DDN have their
own installer which installs cygwin and the gpfs packages. Have worked fine
on other clients but not on this sucker. =(

Versions involved:
Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB
IBM  GPFS Express Edition 4.1.0.4
IBM  GPFS Express Edition License and Prerequisites 4.1
IBM  GPFS GSKit  8.0.0.32

Below is the log from the client. I don’ find much useful at the server,
point me to specific log file if you have a good idea of where I can find
errors of this.

Cheers and many thanks in advance for helping me out here. I’m all ears.
