Ocfs2 users - Oct 2009 - orphaned inodes, error while running fsck

Hi,

We're running a two node ocfs2 cluster on Debian lenny. We're seeing
free disk
space gradually disappearing (due to orphaned inodes?). This is annoying, but
for now we can live with it. We have to regularly shutdown the whole cluster to
unmount the partitions, and run fsck -f on it.

The problem now is that one of the nodes gives a "Invalid block number
while
truncating orphan inode" error while running fsck -f, and aborts. So
we're
unable to reclaim the orphaned inodes from this node.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Sammy

The free space disappearing issue has long since been fixed. You
have to upgrade to a newer release to get the fix. Talk to your
distribution.

As far as the fsck issue goes, file a bugzilla with the info.
