Hi, The kernel I'm using is: [root@cfs2 Desktop]# uname -a Linux cfs2 2.6.9-42.7.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue Sep 5 18:29:39 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux So I installed ocfs2-2.6.9-42.ELsmp-1.2.3-1.i686.rpm. While trying to load the modules, I got the following error: [root@cfs2 Desktop]# /etc/init.d/o2cb load Loading module "configfs": Unable to load module "configfs" Failed Any ideas? Thanks lin
Refer to the FAQ. The module's kernel version should match the kernel version.

Switched the kernel to 2.6.9-42.Elsmp, still got the same error.

I don't see configfs.ko.

That worked, thanks. I'm a newbie to OCFS2, so bear with me if some of my questions sound too trivial. I couldn't find the answers either in FAQ or User's Guide. 1. Does OCFS2 need gnbd (or similar thing) to work with off-the-shelf PC boxes like GFS does? If I have two nodes A and B, each has a partition. How do I include both partitions into a single instance of OCFS2 file system? 2. Does OCFS2 support cross-node RAID? 3. How easy is it to port OCFS2 onto a different transport protocol such as TIPC? lin> -----Original Message----- > From: Sunil Mushran [mailto:Sunil.Mushran@oracle.com] > Sent: Thursday, January 04, 2007 1:21 PM > To: Lin Shen (lshen) > Cc: ocfs2-users@oss.oracle.com > Subject: Re: [Ocfs2-users] Problem installing OCFS 1.2.3 > > depmod -a ? > > Lin Shen (lshen) wrote: > > Switched the kernel to 2.6.9-42.Elsmp, still got the same error. > > > > > > > > [root@cfs2 Desktop]# uname -a > > Linux cfs2 2.6.9-42.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Jul 12 23:27:17 EDT 2006 i686 > > i686 > > i386 GNU/Linux > > > > > >> -----Original Message----- > >> From: Sunil Mushran [mailto:Sunil.Mushran@oracle.com] > >> Sent: Thursday, January 04, 2007 12:08 PM > >> To: Lin Shen (lshen) > >> Cc: ocfs2-users@oss.oracle.com > >> Subject: Re: [Ocfs2-users] Problem installing OCFS 1.2.3 > >> > >> Refer to the FAQ.

So w/o shared disk, is it possible to make OCFS2 to work by utilizing GNBD or etc? lin> -----Original Message----- > From: Sunil Mushran [mailto:Sunil.Mushran@oracle.com] > Sent: Thursday, January 04, 2007 2:48 PM > To: Lin Shen (lshen) > Cc: ocfs2-users@oss.oracle.com > Subject: Re: [Ocfs2-users] Problem installing OCFS 1.2.3 > > Lin Shen (lshen) wrote: > > That worked, thanks. > > > > I'm a newbie to OCFS2, so bear with me if some of my > questions sound > > too trivial.
