Hi all,

I’m trying to run rrdcreate on a host…

Linux todi4 2.6.32.59-0.7.1_1.0402.7496-cray_gem_s #1 SMP Wed Aug 7 03:59:30 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
VERSION = 11
PATCHLEVEL = 1

…by running this command…

rrdcreate /users/olifu/lemon/todi.rrd --start 1414236486 --step 60 DS:arpagaus:GAUGE:120:0:9999 DS:baumann:GAUGE:120:0:9999 DS:daniel:GAUGE:120:0:9999 DS:dbrunner:GAUGE:120:0:9999 DS:dmaurer:GAUGE:120:0:9999 DS:jenkins:GAUGE:120:0:9999 DS:katrambr:GAUGE:120:0:9999 DS:kaufmann:GAUGE:120:0:9999 DS:lapixa:GAUGE:120:0:9999 DS:morsier:GAUGE:120:0:9999 DS:olifu:GAUGE:120:0:9999 DS:omarb:GAUGE:120:0:9999 DS:osm:GAUGE:120:0:9999 DS:OTHER:GAUGE:120:0:9999 DS:paa:GAUGE:120:0:9999 DS:rochesa:GAUGE:120:0:9999 DS:ruestefa:GAUGE:120:0:9999 DS:TOTAL:GAUGE:120:0:9999 DS:tsm:GAUGE:120:0:9999 DS:walser:GAUGE:120:0:9999 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:14400 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:60:500 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1440:365

RRDtool 1.4.8 Copyright by Tobi Oetiker, 1997-2010

Usage: rrdcreate <filename>
[--start|-b start time]
[--step|-s step]
[--no-overwrite]
[DS:ds-name:DST:dst arguments]
[RRA:CF:cf arguments]

ERROR: creating '/users/olifu/lemon/todi.rrd': Function not implemented

…and it fails with a not so useful error message. If I run exactly the same command on another host everything works fine.

Any suggestions / help are welcome!

Cheers and have a nice weekend,
Oli

hi oliver

please try rrdtool 1.4.9

also for flexibilities sake I would suggest to have just one DS per rrd file unless you are in serious performance trouble.

i suspect the root cause is a platform issue.

Hi Tobias,

Just compiled and installed 1.4.9 on the host in question...

***@todi4:~/install/modulefiles/rrdtool[231]> rrdcreate /users/olifu/lemon/todi.rrd --start 1414236486 --step 60 DS:arpagaus:GAUGE:120:0:9999 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:14400 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:60:500 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1440:365
RRDtool 1.4.9 Copyright by Tobi Oetiker, 1997-2010

Usage: rrdcreate <filename>
[--start|-b start time]
[--step|-s step]
[--no-overwrite]
[DS:ds-name:DST:dst arguments]
[RRA:CF:cf arguments]

ERROR: creating '/users/olifu/lemon/todi.rrd': Function not implemented

…and still no luck. Is there any way of finding out what is going wrong and getting more verbose output?

Cheers,
Oli

This seems to be system error ENOSYS.

It may be helpful to report the kind of filesystem you are trying this on,
and I suggest you try to create the database on a different path.

Are you using rrdcached implicitly (by environment variable)? It maybe that you have an rrdtool version supporting create over rrdcached but your version of rrdcached does not support it.

Also, check that /users/alifu/lemon is not on a unusual filesystems type or read-only filesystem.

Hi all,

Might be due to the filesystem… It’s a Cray DVS type filesystem…

/users on /users type dvs (rw,relatime,blksize=32768,nodename=c1-0c2s6n0:c1-0c2s6n1,nocache,nodatasync,noclosesync,retry,failover,userenv,clusterfs,killprocess,nobulk_rw,noatomic,nodeferopens,no_distribute_create_ops,no_ro_cache,maxnodes=1,nnodes=2)

After chatting offline with Tobias, compiling with --disable-mmap and some other options did the trick. Everything is working smoothly now.

Thanks for all your help,
Oli
