Resolve "New start and stop scripts"
This MR is part of issue #52 (closed) and introduces a beta version for a new script which can start and stop GekkoFS daemons. For consistency the env variable to control daemon log levels was change from GKFS_LOG_LEVEL
to GKFS_DAEMON_LOG_LEVEL
.
It supports all GekkoFS arguments, numactl, and srun, and it can be run in the foreground and background.
The help page is as follows:
usage: gkfs [-h/--help] [-r/--rootdir <path>] [-m/--mountdir <path>] [-a/--args <daemon_args>] [-f/--foreground <false>]
[--srun <false>] [-n/--numnodes <jobsize>] [--cpuspertask <64>] [--numactl <false>] [-v/--verbose <false>]
{start,stop}
This script simplifies the starting and stopping GekkoFS daemons. If daemons are started on multiple nodes,
a Slurm environment is required. The script looks for the 'gkfs.conf' file in the same directory where
additional permanent configurations can be set.
positional arguments:
command Command to execute: 'start' and 'stop'
optional arguments:
-h, --help Shows this help message and exits
-r, --rootdir <path> Providing the rootdir path for GekkoFS daemons.
-m, --mountdir <path> Providing the mountdir path for GekkoFS daemons.
-a, --args <daemon_arguments>
Add various additional daemon arguments, e.g., "-l ib0 -P ofi+psm2".
-f, --foreground Starts the script in the foreground. Daemons are stopped by pressing 'q'.
--srun Use srun to start daemons on multiple nodes.
-n, --numnodes <n> GekkoFS daemons are started on n nodes.
Nodelist is extracted from Slurm via the SLURM_JOB_ID env variable.
--cpuspertask <#cores> Set the number of cores the daemons can use. Must use '--srun'.
--numactl Use numactl for the daemon. Modify gkfs.conf for further numactl configurations.
-v, --verbose Increase verbosity
