If this is the problem, that's good -- it just means that we need a
better error detection in the case where we run out of memory, etc.
Stay tuned to that thread to see what happens.

You might be right that this issue is the problem. Our system has
diskless nodes, so /tmp uses a ramdisk. It was initially configured
so that /tmp could use up to 8 GB of the 16 GB of memory on each
node. We didn't notice until recently that something in the upgrade
we made to the system dropped the size of /tmp to 48 MB, so maybe
that's the cause of the problem. We've increased the size of /tmp
again in the compute node image, but I'll have to wait until we get
a chance to push out the new image before I can tell if that will
fix our problem.
Thanks!

Thanks Peter. Blocking the shared memory layer did the trick for
our program too.
For the record, we also have SGI Propack 6 installed (sgi-propack-
release-6-sgi600r3).
Is the on-node shared memory support completely blocked? What if
the MPI process calls a procedure that uses OpenMP threads, for
instance?

Geraldo,
The previous message you saw was for our Altix ICE system. Since
we started seeing these errors after upgrading to SGI Propack 6, I
wonder if there's a bug somewhere in the Propack software or an
incompatibility between Open MPI and OFED 1.3 (we had no problems
under OFED 1.2). A workaround I stumbled across is to turn off the
sm component:
mpirun --mca btl ^sm . . .
That seems to allow our application to run, although I guess at
the expense of losing on-node shared memory support.

Hi to all,
I am using the same subject of a recent message I found in the
list archives of this mailing list:
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/users/2008/10/7025.php
There was no follow-up on that one, but will add this similar
report in case a list member can give us an idea of how to correct
it. Or whose bug this could be.
My application behaves as expected when I run it in a single host
and multiple MPI nodes of our SGI Altix ICE 8200 cluster with
in InfiniBand. When I try the same with multiple hosts, using
the PBS batch system the program terminates with a segmentation
fault:

Most of the software infrastructure is provided by the Intel
propack. Any hints of where to look further into this bug?
Thanks in advance.
