[gentoo-user] Iozone on multiple nodes using ssh

["Chuanwen Wu" <wcw8410@gmail.com>]

Hi,
I am trying to use iozone to test my cluster with ssh but not rsh, but
I still can't running iozone on multiple nodes.

I have two nodes node73 and node74 in my LAN. And each node is able to
execute commands on another one without being challenged for a
password with user "dnfs":
dnfs@node73 ~ $ ssh node74 date
Thu Jan  8 22:44:55 CST 2009

dnfs@Gnode74 ~ $ ssh node73 date
Thu Jan  8 22:47:19 CST 2009

Iozone use rsh to execute commands on the clients, and now I use ssh
to replace rsh:
dnfs@node73 ~ $ cat ~/.bashrc
# /etc/skel/.bashrc
[...]
# Put your fun stuff here.
export RSH=ssh

Here is my clientlist, which contains the nodes' information:
dnfs@node73 ~ $ cat clientlist
node74 /home/dnfs /tmp/iozone

Then I run iozone on node73:
/***********************************************************/
dnfs@node73 ~ $ iozone -s 1m -Rb log.xls  -t 1 -+m clientlist

        Run began: Thu Jan  8 23:11:13 2009

        File size set to 1024 KB
        Excel chart generation enabled
        Network distribution mode enabled.
        Command line used: iozone -s 1m -Rb log.xls -t 1 -+m clientlist
        Output is in Kbytes/sec
        Time Resolution = 0.000001 seconds.
        Processor cache size set to 1024 Kbytes.
        Processor cache line size set to 32 bytes.
        File stride size set to 17 * record size.
        Throughput test with 1 process
        Each process writes a 1024 Kbyte file in 4 Kbyte records

Then iozone stoped here.

I still use strace to see what happend:

I am not familiar with strace but I guess iozone was watiing to
receive something from node74.

Anyone ever use iozone across multiple nodes?
Any help will be very appreciated!

PS:
I can run iozone to test local fs without any problem.
