Hi, How do I remove 'ghost device' shown in ocfs2console I did a mistake while setting it my system formatting not to be formatted partition. But now after formating the correct one, and having my devices mounted and runnning, the old formated device are still shown in the windows of my console How can I removed them? Thanks in adavance for your assistance, Philippe Andries -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

ocfs2console just scans the partitions in /proc/partitions and looks for the superblock on the 3rd block. Easiest would be to use bvi (or any binary editor), search for the signature OCFSV2, and change it. # bvi -s 10240 /dev/sda1 /OCFSV2 Philippe Andries wrote:> Hi, > > How do I remove 'ghost device' shown in ocfs2console > I did a mistake while setting it my system formatting not to be > formatted partition. > But now after formating the correct one, and having my devices mounted > and runnning, the old formated device are still shown in the windows > of my console > How can I removed them? > > Thanks in adavance for your assistance, > > > Philippe Andries > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > Ocfs2-users mailing list > Ocfs2-users@oss.oracle.com > http://oss.oracle.com/mailman/listinfo/ocfs2-users >
Thanks for this info Sunil, But I run on Redhat AS 4 and bvi is not available immediately. I tried to use the source, but the one available on http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/bvi/bvi-1.3.2.src.tar.gz seem to have a problem: When I run the gunzip command as told on the installation page of the web site: [root@erasme ~]# gunzip -c bvi-1.3.2.src.tar.gz | tar xvf gunzip: bvi-1.3.2.src.tar.gz: not in gzip format tar: Old option `f' requires an argument. Try `tar --help' for more information. [root@erasme ~]# [root@erasme ~]# gunzip -c bvi-1.3.2.src.tar.gz gunzip: bvi-1.3.2.src.tar.gz: not in gzip format So I am stuck. :-( Any other idea welcomed. An other binary editor (could not find any on redhat)? An other solution?

Dear all, just to close this case and clarify:
I installed and used bvi, but still the ghosts device were always coming
back.
Very strange. So I decided to reinstall completely my servers. And
understand.
I have a RAC made of 2 servers and a disk array. The connection between the
servers and the disk array use a multi scsi device (2 port for each
connection for safety)
That force me to use HP multipath software (cpq_cciss-2.6.12-6.rhel4.i686
for the info)
Multipath software use the following disk
Disk /dev/cciss/c0d1: 145.6 GB, 145675714560 bytes
2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 35565360 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/cciss/c0d1p1 1 488282 1953126 83 Linux
/dev/cciss/c0d1p2 488283 35565344 140308248 83 Linux
Disk /dev/cciss/c1d0: 145.6 GB, 145675714560 bytes
2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 35565360 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/cciss/c1d0p1 1 488282 1953126 83 Linux
/dev/cciss/c1d0p2 488283 35565344 140308248 83 Linux
to create multipath devices.
/dev/md0 /dev/cciss/c0d1p1 and /dev/cciss/c1d0p1
/dev/md1 /dev/cciss/c0d1p2 and /dev/cciss/c1d0p2
Even if I format and mount only the /dev/mdx devices, ocfs2 recognize and
list them all
[root@erasme installed]# mounted.ocfs2 -d
Device FS UUID Label
/dev/cciss/c0d1p1 ocfs2 26d4fc43-fe0f-435a-b7be-b6b9c37e18ee oraclecrs
/dev/cciss/c0d1p2 ocfs2 df0e801c-2501-44ae-9cb4-38a67325762a oracledb
/dev/cciss/c1d0p1 ocfs2 26d4fc43-fe0f-435a-b7be-b6b9c37e18ee oraclecrs
/dev/cciss/c1d0p2 ocfs2 df0e801c-2501-44ae-9cb4-38a67325762a oracledb
/dev/md0 ocfs2 26d4fc43-fe0f-435a-b7be-b6b9c37e18ee oraclecrs
/dev/md1 ocfs2 df0e801c-2501-44ae-9cb4-38a67325762a oracledb
My 4 ghosts included.
So there was no bug.
Thanks anyway for your assistance
Philippe Andries

Because that is a html doc. Click on the link and then select a mirror.
http://bvi.sourceforge.net/download.html
You could get the bin rpm too.
