Ocfs2 users - Aug 2007 - problem with ocfs2cdsl

hi,

i am new to ocfs2 but i got it to work pretty good.
only ocfs2cdsl does not really work on my system.

# uname -a
Linux webhost2 2.6.18-028stab039 #2 SMP Thu Aug 2 12:00:17 UTC 2007 i686
GNU/Linux

# ocfs2cdsl -V
ocfs2cdsl 1.2.1

# mount
[...]
ocfs2_dlmfs on /dlm type ocfs2_dlmfs (rw)
/dev/drbd0 on /cluster/r0 type ocfs2 (rw,_netdev,heartbeat=local)

# cd /cluster/r0/test
# ocfs2cdsl -v me
mkdir -p '/cluster/r0/.cluster/hostname/webhost2/test'
ln -s '../.cluster/hostname/{hostname}/test/me'
'/cluster/r0/test/me'

# ls -la ../.cluster/hostname/webhost2/test/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-08-15 18:20 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2007-08-15 18:20 ..

so there was no file created
ok try to create it on our own

#echo 'webhost2' > ../.cluster/hostname/webhost/test/me

# cat me
cat: me: No such file or directory

still the symlink can not be resolved. it seems that {hostname} is not
interpreted.

i also tried it with -t option for os, mach, and nodenum. os and mach are
absolutely similar to hostname, with nodenum there is even another problem:

# ocfs2cdsl -v -t nodenum me2
ocfs2cdsl: No such file or directory could not open /proc/fs/ocfs2/147_0/nodenum

and indeed /proc/fs has no directory ocfs2.

can anybody please help me to get this to work?

thanks,
- rainer

CDSL had to be removed from the ocfs2 code base in order to get acceptance
into the mainline kernel. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like that will ever
change. It's still in the 1.2 code, but if you're using a mainline
kernel,
I'd stick with that as ocfs2 1.2 is frozen and focused more towards
enterprise distro kernels.
