Hello, Ed. A Debian user has discovered that sometimes discovery packets smaller than 60 bytes arrive to a vblade server, thus being ignored:
I tried to set up AoE but it did not work. tshark showed that the
packets generated as a result of 'aoe-discover' was received on the NIC,
and strace showed that vblade read() them, but nothing happened, there
was no response. Checking the source revealed that vblade simply drops
packets with length less than 60, but the "AoE Query Config Information
Request" packets had length 56 (the remote end is the AoE driver from
linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch1).
The following patch made AoE work for me:
--- aoe.c.orig 2006-11-20 18:48:05.000000000 +0100
+++ aoe.c 2007-05-11 16:49:07.000000000 +0200
@@ -202,7 +202,7 @@
perror("read network");
exit(1);
}
- if (n < 60)
+ if (n < 56)
continue;
p = (Aoehdr *) buf;
if (ntohs(p->type) != 0x88a2)
I do not have an AoE setup right to test. What do you think about thi
issue?
Best regards,
Ender.
