User documentation

The lumi-training-tools is a module-under-development that provides tools used during the trainings, mostly for exercises, but that don't make sense to include in modules that are useful outside trainings also such as lumi-CPEtools.

Content of the newest versions:

• mkfile: A simple tool to generate a file of given size.

User-installable modules (and EasyConfigs)

Install with the EasyBuild-user module:

eb <easyconfig> -r

To access module help after installation and get reminded for which stacks and partitions the module is installed, use module spider lumi-training-tools/<version>.

EasyConfig:

• EasyConfig lumi-training-tools-20240502.eb, will build lumi-training-tools/20240502

  Tools used in the training notes and exercises of the 2-day training given by LUST in Amsterdam on May 2-3, 2024. Only includes mkfile, compiled with the system compiler and usable without CPE.

Technical documentation

• mkfile tool:

  • It was originally a tool included with Solaris and can still be found in some BSD distributions.

  • A simple version with one option less is available on the GitHub repository vogelchr/mkfile. Its command line options are different though so we avoid using it for now.

EasyConfigs

Version 20240502 - Amsterdam 2-day LUST training in May 2024

• Only includes the mkfile tool, but already uses a bundle for future extensions.

• The Makefile that comes with mkfile is for the BSD make so we compiled with explicit commands using CmdCp and also modified the manual page a bit to fit better with our setup.
