Hi, I'm using ovm 2.2.2, every 3-4 days I get heartbeat errors, : I/o errors Kernel panic - not syncing fatal exception, bad entry in directory #137: rec_len is smaller than minimal. After searching the internet I come to the conclusion that ocfs2 has some known bugs like these and that an upgrade of ocfs2 can solve them. When I do: [root at VMS01 ~]# rpm -qa | grep ocfs2 ocfs2-tools-1.4.3-4.el5 I don't get the version of the ocfs2 kernel package. So it's probably bundled, which leaves me with the question if I can upgrade it. And if so, which version should I use? When I use the the el5.3 repo source I can upgrade it.. but won't I get 2 different packages, the kernel-bundles one and the new el5.3 one?

[Ocfs2-users] ocfs2 cluster fails every few days
I Don't know how are in RH but in debian the ocfs2-tools are in one version and the kernel include ocfs2 in the kernel package. If you want use ocfs2 must download ocfs2-toos and this tools are for create filesystems, check and mount, headbit.... and the ocfs2 kernel package make the filesystem run. Read the documentation about ocfs2. Offline the system and check the cluster file system.

In ovm, ocfs2 kernel module is part of the kernel rpm itself and hence you don't need a separate ocfs2 package for kernel module. The errors suggest that your cluster configuration might be a problem. The corruption, and "another node heartbeating in my slot" could because of a misconfiguration of node numbers or mismatched cluster.conf on all nodes. File an SR with oracle linux/ovm support to get help on this.
