Hi, IHAC with an OCFS2 1.4 2-node cluster in RedHat 5.3 x86-64. Basically for explanation simplicity the software uses the cluster for writing in a log file up to 500Mb size, among other things (file read, etc) Last monday there was a problem somewhere (software is a two-node application server) that caused the software to hang, and it seems both application servers was waiting each other for writing. Just restarting the application servers, the hypothetical deadlock was resolved. Question: Is ocfs2 capable to detect the deadlock and fence one of the nodes in this situation? The configuration is: # 2010-02-10: OCFS2 cluster-aware filesystem configuration kernel.panic_on_oops = 1 kernel.panic = 30 ?
