Hi, I' m using AFR to keep aligned a file system on two servers. This file system contain oracle data. Oracle works properly on the file system managed by AFR either on the server A or server B. But if I switch off server A while oracle is runnig and I launch oracle on the second server all works fine. When server A comes up again and i stop oracle on the server B and I try to run oracle on the server A oracle doesn't work properly because there is some file locked. ( After this operation oracle doesn't work on the server A but works on the server B ) The only way to exit from this situation is to reboot server B, (the server where oracle works properly). Is there a way to force an unlock file or a way to avoid this behaviour? Moreover when I switch off a server, the file system on the other server is not available( the command ls remains blocked) for 25 seconds. How can I do to have available the file system in a short time? I'm using a 2.0.3 release and fuse 2.7.4. I have two servers configured as follow: client vol: volume CRS type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 127.0.0.1 option remote-subvolume disk end-volume volume writeback-disk type performance/write-behind option block-size 131072 # unit in bytes subvolumes CRS end-volume volume readahead-disk type performance/read-ahead option page-size 65536 # unit in bytes option page-count 16 # cache per file = (page-count x page-size) subvolumes writeback-disk end-volume server vol volume local-disk-ds type storage/posix option directory /var/glusterfs/shared end-volume volume TSU-1.localdomain-disk type features/locks subvolumes local-disk-ds end-volume volume remote.localdomain-disk type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 192.168.1.74 option remote-subvolume TSU-2.localdomain-disk option transport-timeout 5 end-volume volume disk-afr type cluster/afr subvolumes remote.localdomain-disk TSU-1.localdomain-disk option favorite-child TSU-1.localdomain-disk end-volume volume disk-unify type cluster/distribute subvolumes disk-afr end-volume volume disk type performance/io-threads option thread-count 2 subvolumes disk-unify end-volume volume server type protocol/server option transport-type tcp/server subvolumes disk option auth.addr.TSU-1.localdomain- disk.allow * option auth.addr.local-disk-ds.allow * option auth.addr.disk.allow * end-volume Thanks Maurizio -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
