How To Install orangefs on CentOS 8
orangefs is Parallel network file system client
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install orangefs on CentOS 8.
What is orangefs
OrangeFS (formerly PVFS2) is a high-performance parallel network file system designed for use on high performance computing systems. It provides very high performance access to disk storage for parallel applications. It is accessible through a variety of interfaces, including the native OrangeFS library, the kernel, FUSE, and MPI-IO. This package provides the pvfs2-client-core which is required to use the kernel module.
We can use yum or dnf to install orangefs on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install orangefs.
Install orangefs on CentOS 8 Using dnf
Update yum database with dnf using the following command.
sudo dnf makecache --refresh
