[mpich-discuss] ROMIO+Lustre problems in OpenMPI 1.8.3

Dear Open MPI and ROMIO developer,

We use Open MPI v.1.6.x and 1.8.x in our cluster.
We have Lustre file system; we wish to use MPI_IO.
So the OpenMPI's are compiled with this flag:
 > --with-io-romio-flags='--with-file-system=testfs+ufs+nfs+lustre'

In our newest installation openmpi/1.8.3 we found that MPI_IO is *broken*.

Short seek for root of the evil bring the following to light:

- the ROMIO component 'MCA io: romio' isn't here at all in the affected version, 
because

- configure of ROMIO has *failed* (cf. logs (a,b,c).
- because lustre_user.h was found but could not be compiled.


In our system, there are two lustre_user.h available:
$ locate lustre_user.h
/usr/include/linux/lustre_user.h
/usr/include/lustre/lustre_user.h
As I'm not very convinient with lustre, I just attach both of them.

pk224850 at cluster:~[509]$ uname -a
Linux cluster.rz.RWTH-Aachen.DE 2.6.32-431.29.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Sep 9 
13:45:55 CDT 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

pk224850 at cluster:~[510]$ cat /etc/issue
Scientific Linux release 6.5 (Carbon)

Note that openmpi/1.8.1 seem to be fully OK (MPI_IO works) in our environment.

Best

Paul Kapinos

P.S. Is there a confugure flag, which will enforce ROMIO? That is when ROMIO not 
available, configure would fail. This would make such hidden errors publique at 
installation time..
