[LU-937] CLIENTONLY testing no longer works

Related — Mon, 13 Mar 2017 13:12:34 +0000

I'm trying to run "CLIENTONLY" testing on 2.1. CLIENTONLY testing is basically a test mode where test-framework.sh is not allowed to muck with the servers, and therefore has to skip much of the server configuration portion of the testing. IIRC it assumes that lustre is already mounted on the client doing the testing.

This seems to have gotten broken with 165400bbb8161b36764bd51056293375101329a6 back at the end of 2009.

I have (naïvely) applied the following patch to at least get past the blocking nature of this bug:

--- a/lustre/tests/test-framework.sh
+++ b/lustre/tests/test-framework.sh
@@ -2436,7 +2436,9 @@ check_and_setup_lustre() {
     fi
 
     init_gss
-    set_flavor_all $SEC
+    if [ -z "$CLIENTONLY" ]; then
+        set_flavor_all $SEC
+    fi
 
     if [ "$ONLY" == "setup" ]; then
         exit 0

I don't know if this really is an acceptable solution but I can't imagine why it would be acceptable to try to set/test the GSS flavour when the particular (CLIENTONLY) testing mode is supposed to keep it's hands off of the servers and just use the client mount as it is anyway.

Probably before landing such a patch, somebody would need to investigate the entire nature of set_flavor_all() to be sure this is the correct fix.
