I have a 2 node cluster of HP DL380G4s. These machines are attached via scsi to an external HP disk enclosure. They run 32bit RH AS 4.0 and OCFS 1.2.4, the latest release. They were upgraded from 1.2.3 only a few days after 1.2.4 was released. I had reported on the mailing list that my developers were happy, and things seemed faster. However, twice in that time, the cluster has gone down due

Does anybody knows if is there a certified procedure in to backup a RAC DB 10.2.0.3 based on OCFS2 , via split mirror or snaphots technology ? Using Linux LVM and OCFS2, does anybody knows if is possible to dinamically extend an OCFS filesystem, once the underlying LVM Volume has been extended ? Thanks in advance Riccardo Paganini

hi, i am trying to install oracle rac on fedora core 6 through iscsi. when i try to mount, mount.ocfs2: Invalid argument while mounting /dev/mapper/rac-crs on /mnt/crs. Check 'dmesg' for more information on this error. error log in dmesg, ocfs2: Unmounting device (253,11) on (node 255) (27354,0):ocfs2_parse_options:753 ERROR: Unrecognized mount option "datavolume" or missing

Hello all, I am running SLES9 with the latest kernel patches (2.6.5-7.282-bigsmp) and ocfs2 version (1.2.1-SLES), I was wondering if anyone had any info on if the latest ocfs2 will be included in SLES anytime soon. Or how to get the patches from Novell. Thanks in advance! - Andy Andy Kipp Network Administrator Velcro USA Inc. 406 Brown Ave. Manchester, NH 03103 Phone: (603) 222-4844 Email:

Hello, First, thanks to all the people who helped to license this software under the GPL. This is a very important piece of work for the Free Software in the Enterprise Market. Just a few newbie questions. We've been thinking about implmenting a mail cluster with a Fiber SAN (IBM DS-4000) and OCFSv2 as the storage backend. The information on this volume will essentially be Postfix Maildirs,

Hi 2 all ! I have problems with concurrent filesystem actions on a ocfs2 filesystem which is mounted by 2 nodes. OS=RH5ES and OCFS2=1.2.6 F.e.: If I have a LV called testlv which is mounted on /mnt on both servers and I do a "dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test.a bs=1024 count=1000000" on server 1 and do at the same time a du -hs /mnt/test.a it takes about 5 seconds for du -hs to execute: 270M

We are running OCFS2 on SLES9 machines using a FC SAN. Without warning both nodes will become unresponsive. Can not access either machine via ssh or terminal (hangs after typing in username). However the machine still responds to pings. This continues until one node is rebooted, at which time the second node resumes normal operations. I am not entirely sure that this is an OCFS2 problem at all

We just installed a new cluster with 6 HP DL380g5, dual single port Qlogic 24xx HBAs connected via two HP 4/16 Storageworks switches to a 3Par S400. We are using the 3Par recommended config for the Qlogic driver and device-mapper-multipath giving us 4 paths to the SAN. We do see some SCSI errors where DM-MP is failing a path after get a 0x2000 error from the SAN controller, but the path gets puts
