Ocfs users - Jul 2003 - load_ocfs problem

Hello,

I'm trying to implement the Oracle RAC on a firewire shared disk.
I've patched the kernel (for multiple login firewire support), and both
nodes can see the shared disk.

Then, i've installed the files necessary for ocfs:
ocfs-2.4.20-smp-1.0.8-4.i386.rpm
ocfs-support-1.0.8-4.i386.rpm
ocfs-tools-1.0.8-4.i386.rpm

However, when i do a '/sbin/load_ocfs' this is what i get:

[root@localhost firewire]# /sbin/load_ocfs 
/sbin/insmod ocfs node_name=rac1 ip_address=192.168.0.1 ip_port=9999
cs=1855 guid=E5385F2B75F1FC5794E5000476DC7DA8
insmod: ocfs: no module by that name found
load_ocfs: insmod failed

I'm also confused with one thing. How many times do I have to patch my
kernel?
1) Twice for both multiple login firewire support AND ocfs support?
2) Just once for multiple login firewire support?

Thanks.

Regards,
Faisal

did you type  /etc/init.d/ocfs start

you don't need patches for ocfs support, not sure what you mean
ocfs is a kernel module fro the filesystem and the patch for multiple
login support is just for firewire they are independent, if you download
the kernel rpm's from the website then you don't need any patches
