Hi all, I just started with OCFS2 and set up a 2-node cluster where one node is writing and both read from the clustered volume. Currently I'm moving data to the volume via tar and since I started this more and more memory is used until nothing is left and the box reboots. This takes about two to three days. I use the OCFS2 version provided with Debian Etch and I'm not sure if the memory leak bug mentioned in OCFS2's bugzilla(bug #871) is already fixed in those packages. Here the versions: # modinfo ocfs2 filename: /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-amd64/kernel/fs/ocfs2/ocfs2.ko author: Oracle license: GPL description: OCFS2 1.3.3 version: 1.3.3 vermagic: 2.6.18-4-amd64 SMP mod_unload gcc-4.1 depends: ocfs2_dlm,ocfs2_nodemanager,jbd srcversion: 0798424846E68F10172C203 # dpkg -s ocfs2-tools | grep ^Ver Version: 1.2.1-1.3 # uname -r 2.6.18-4-amd64 Thx and Regards, Markus Meyer

[Ocfs2-users] Question regarding old memory leak
In mainline, that issue was resolved in 2.6.21. We have patches for 2.6.20 but not older than that. Sunil -------------- next part -------------- An embedded message was scrubbed...
