Wim,

ocfs-2.4.21-EL-smp-1.0.9-9.i686.rpm does not install
when the errata kernel (2.4.21-4.0.1) is installed in
RHEL 3.  It complains that the kernel version and the
version ocfs was compiled with are incompatible.

I also tried downloading and compiling the
ocfs-1.0.9-11 source and encountered syntax errors
during the compilation.  The same source compiled fine
under RHAS 2.1.

I don't have examples of the errors handy as I write
this, but can get them for you if necessary.

Regards,

John Smiley

--------------------------
I too am experincing this problem...would it be wise to go after RedHat?
Or does anyone have an idea?

TIA!

yeah we noticed, for some reason rhel3's update broke versioning . just
requires a quick rebuild however we want to make sure that whatever
happens with like the next update, that things dont' break with
versioning
its strange. worked fine with as2.1, and is supposed to be fine for
rhel3 but whatever happened. it broke

just a matter of symbol versioning tho
ll post when its dealt with (soon)

yes Manish figured out that it's a bug in rhel3 insmod. we asked red hat
to update modutils 
in the meantime you could change load_ocfs to do a insmod -f
that shoudl work, the actual ABI has not changed it's just insmod that
fails the check

look for INSMOD="$INSMOD $MODULE"
and just change it to
INSMOD="$INSMOD -f $MODULE"

also - for async io ;  p2448994_9204_LINUX.zip is the patch to apply for
oracle (this is metalink ARU patch number). after addign the patch and
relinking oraclewith  async_on, add 
filesystemio_options="SetAll" to init.ora
