Support for SLES9 seems to be pretty much lacking at the moment. The OCFS2 site [1] states OCFS2 is supported with SP2+. There actually does not exist a SP2+ for SLES9 (or should this rather read "will be supported in SP3" instead?). Latest RPMs that come with SLES9 SP2 are 0.99.14 which has critical known bugs and is unusable. Anybody got to compile current source on SLES9 x86_64? 1.1.2, 1.1.6 and trunk all fail to compile on SLES9.SP2 2.6.5-7.191-smp SMP x86_64 [3]. ocfs2-1.0.7 is the latest tarball I got to compile. Problem here is that we loose IP heartbeat and node1 fences shortly after mounting a shared LV on the second node [4]. Bummer. Anybody more luck? --Mike [1] http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/ [2] http://www.novell.com/products/linuxpackages/enterpriseserver/SP2/i386/index_all.html [3] http://oss.oracle.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=589 [4] http://oss.oracle.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=590

A later user-space version has not been deemed necessary yet; if you have a support contract and require it, please file a request.> Anybody got to compile current source on SLES9 x86_64? > 1.1.2, 1.1.6 and trunk all fail to compile on SLES9.SP2 > 2.6.5-7.191-smp SMP x86_64 [3].SP2 only officially supports OCFS2 1.0.x.

Unless you want customers to ask Novell support for the non-existant SP2+.>> Latest RPMs that come with SLES9 SP2 are 0.99.14 which has critical >> known >> bugs and is unusable. > > The in-kernel version is much higher, which is where the critical bugs > have been fixed. > > A later user-space version has not been deemed necessary yet; if you > have a support contract and require it, please file a request.same as above>> Anybody got to compile current source on SLES9 x86_64? >> 1.1.2, 1.1.6 and trunk all fail to compile on SLES9.SP2 >> 2.6.5-7.191-smp SMP x86_64 [3]. > > SP2 only officially supports OCFS2 1.0.x. > > We will include 1.1/1.2 in SP3. > >> Problem here is that we loose IP heartbeat and node1 fences shortly >> after >> mounting a shared LV on the second node [4].
