Hi Felipe,
I either misunderstood support or convinced them to take further
action. It at first looked like they were suggesting "mmbuildgpl fixed
it: case closed" (I know they wanted to close the SalesForce case
anyway, which would prevent communication on the issue). At this
point, they've asked for a bunch more information.
Support is asking similar questions re: the speculations, and I'll
provide them with the relevant output ASAP, but I did confirm all of
that, including that there were no stray mmfs26/tracedev kernel
modules anywhere else in the relevant /lib/modules PATHs. In the
original case, I built on a machine running 3.10.0-957.27.2, but
pointed to the 3.10.0-1062.9.1 source code/defined the relevant
portions of usr/lpp/mmfs/src/config/env.mcr. That's always worked
before, and rebuilding once the build system was running
3.10.0-1062.9.1 as well did not change anything either. In all cases,
the GPFS version was Spectrum Scale Data Access Edition 5.0.4-1. If
you build against either the wrong kernel version or the wrong GPFS
version, both will appear right in the filename of the gpfs.gplbin RPM
you build. Mine is called:
gpfs.gplbin-3.10.0-1062.9.1.el7.x86_64-5.0.4-1.x86_64.rpm
Anyway, thanks for your response; I know you might not be
following/working on this directly, but I figured the extra info might
be of interest.
