[Ocfs2-users] OCFS2-versions and SLES9/10
hi folks,
i'm currently somewhat confused about OCFS2 version and SLES9/SLES10.
unfortunately the new http://download.novell.com does not make it easier to
find the current version of the ocfs2-rpms (or, BTW, to find anything at
all...).
newest version i found there for SLES9 was 1.2.1 (date 2006-05-19).
any hints on how to get the matching version of ocfs2tools and ocfs2console?
the modules currently running in our environment are:
--snip
bmiam108:~ # modinfo ocfs2
license: GPL
author: Oracle
version: 1.2.3-SLES 7C474E63163003A704F6CD2
description: OCFS2 1.2.3-SLES Wed Aug 9 13:16:58 PDT 2006 (build sles)
depends: ocfs2_nodemanager,ocfs2_dlm,jbd
supported: yes
vermagic: 2.6.5-7.283-smp SMP gcc-3.3
-snap
all other ocfs2-modules have the same version.
system-info:
--snip
bmiam108:~ # uname -a
Linux bmiam108 2.6.5-7.283-smp #1 SMP Wed Nov 29 16:55:53 UTC 2006 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
bmiam108:~ # cat /etc/SuSE-release
SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (x86_64)
VERSION = 9
PATCHLEVEL = 3
bmiam108:~ # SPident
CONCLUSION: System is up-to-date!
found SLES-9-x86_64-SP3 + "online updates"
--snap
but(!):
-snip
bmiam108:/opt/oracle/archivelogs # rpm -qa | grep ocfs2
ocfs2-tools-1.1.4-0.5
ocfs2console-1.1.4-0.5
-snap
and as if that wasn't disturbing enough, somehow we managed to
make several ocsf2-FS's with these tools... ;-).
what I found in the FAQ is:
--snip
Novell is shipping two SLES9 releases, viz., SP2 and SP3.
* The latest kernel with the SP2 release is 2.6.5-7.202.7. It ships with
OCFS2 1.0.8.
* The latest kernel with the SP3 release is 2.6.5-7.283. It ships with
OCFS2 1.2.3. Please contact Novell to get the latest OCFS2 modules on SLES9
SP3.
...
SLES10 is currently shipping OCFS2 1.2.3. SLES10 SP1 is currently shipping
1.2.5-1.
-snap
what i find on my CDs/DVDs is (same versions for x86 and x86_64):
SLES9-SP2
ocfs2console-0.99.14-0.3.i586.rpm
ocfs2-tools-0.99.14-0.3.i586.rpm
SLES9-SP3
ocfs2-tools-1.1.4-0.5.i586.rpm
ocfs2console-1.1.4-0.5.i586.rpm
SLES10
ocfs2console-1.2.1-5.6.i586.rpm
ocfs2-tools-1.2.1-5.6.i586.rpm
SLES10-SP1
ocfs2-tools-1.2.3-0.7.i586.rpm
ocfs2console-1.2.3-0.7.i586.rpm

1.1 and 1.2 tools are both compatible with ocfs2 1.2 filesystem. The release numbers were not well coordinated in sles9 sp3. We have since worked on improving that. If you download sles9-sp4 or sles10 sp1, you will find modinfo version provide the exact svn rev# the release matches with. With sles10 sp2, ocfs2 for both el and sles is built off the same git tree. With tools, the latest tools support all older versions of the fs. The reason sp2 ships 0.99 is because that was the current version when that cd was cut. Same with other releases. Simply put, if you are on sles9, upgrade to sp4.
