Hi experts, My customer issued debugocfs to check for file_size and extent info but values such as file_size, alloc_size, next_free_ext were 0.

I am still having this weird problem with nodes hanging while I'm running OCFS. I'm using OCFS 1.0.9-12 and RHAS 2.1 I've been working on tracking it down and here's what I've got so far: 1. I create a file from node 0. This succeeds; I can /bin/cat the file, append, edit, or whatever. 2. From node 1, I do an operation that accesses the DirNode (e.g. /bin/ls) 3. Node 0

Greetings, Having read about the previous OSFS hangs, I think this one that we are seeing is different, but I'm not sure if this is caused by OCFS or the Linux OS. We are running OCFS Version 1.09 with Linux AS 3.0/9i RAC. We have a 2 node Intel Cluster (Node 1 and Node 2). This morning the DBA tried to do an "ls" command on /u06/oradata/database

Another question. When my database is running, I do [oracle@LNCSTRTLDB03 LPTE3]$ cp --o_direct xdb01.dbf /tmp cp: cannot open `xdb01.dbf' for reading: Permission denied [oracle@LNCSTRTLDB03 LPTE3]$ When the database is shudown it works. Is this normal for ocfs because with any other filesystem I can just copy a file at any time (Its only a testing, I know I cant copy datafiles and have

...y done a down() on a semaphore in the /u06/oradata/database directory. Pretty much every operation inside that directory from that node will hang once the first hang occurs. The best place to go is to Oracle Support at this point. But in any case, the information they will want is a "debugocfs -f /oradata/database/ /dev/raw/raw##" and a "debugocfs -d /oradata/database/ /dev/raw/raw##" and a "fsck.ocfs -v /dev/raw/raw##". My guess is either that the fsck.ocfs output will show an ERROR that says you have a system file locked by another node, or that you have...

Well, because Oracle performs large ios only to the logfiles. The ios to be datafiles are in smaller chunks. Hope this helps. Sunil I'd like to point out a small mistake in th...

Oracle appears to have Wim chained in the basement, forced to answer mailing list questions at all hours. I do appreciate it. Our cluster has been stable since we installed RAC, but a few minor issues have me concerned. First, our storage array seems to maintain continuous low-level activity even when the database is shut down. The CPUs spend a modest amount of time in iowait state while this

Step 2 changes "file_lock" (in step 3) from OCFS_DLM_ENABLE_CACHE_LOCK to OCFS_DLM_NO_LOCK. 1. create a new directory. 2. create a file in the new directory and /bin/cat the file from a different node than the one where you created the directory. delete the file. 3. debugocfs -D /relative/path/to/newdir/from/mountpoint/ /dev/device -- confirm that "file_lock = OCFS_DLM_NO_LOCK" 4. /bin/mv all the datafiles to the new directory. 5. /bin/rmdir the old directory 6. rename the new directory to the same name as the old. Happy hacking, everyone... ;) /js Jere...

Hi all... I have a strange problem. 2 of my mount points already use 7% of space, even when I check the directory is empty. When I re-format it, it release the space for a while, after 1 or 2 days, the space is used again for 7% - 10 %. What could be the reason? I am using RHAS 2.1 Enterprise Kernel 2.1 and OCFS release 1.0.9-6 Thanks Jeram

A few weeks back we opened a TAR with Oracle support to determine whether an OCFS (1.0.9-12) + async configuration was considered supportable. At first a technician said yes, but I followed up with Wim's explanation of how that combination is potentially troublesome and inadequately tested. The technician double-checked, then confirmed that OCFS + async is considered risky. He did say that a
