Hi all, i have the following configuration: RHAS 2.1 2.4.9-e.40enterprise #1 SMP (2 node cluster). ocfs-support-1.1.2-1 ocfs-tools-1.1.2-1 ocfs-2.4.9-e-enterprise-1.0.12-1 i followed the users guide to install and configure ocfs. During definition and formatting of ocfs-partitions the ocfstool crashed. Now restarting ocfstool fails with the following error: ocfstool Abnormal termination! There may be bound raw devices left lying around, please clean them up using the raw(8) command. Segmentation fault checking with raw -qa returns 1 row: [root@chdb100 root]# raw -qa /dev/raw/raw1: bo...

What steps do I need to take to change a host's name? I modified the /etc/ocfs.conf file but ocfstool still reports the old name under the "Configured Nodes" tab. I'm also wondering where ocfstool stores the partition information that it shows under the device list. I dumped a couple ocfs partitions but they still show up in ocfstool. Thanks, Don _________________________...

...mplemented as Raw Devices. We needed to reclaim some space from existing LUN's to create the raw devices as we had expected to able to put all Oracle related files under OCFS (Yes, we belived the hype). This required us to drop and recreate the LUNs that are to be used under OCFS. As a result OCFSTOOL does not recognize the new LUNs that were created. Also, any new LUNs that have been created are not being seen by OCFSTOOL. Oracle support on this issue has been expectedly poor. Has anyone else seen and issue like this ? Thanks in advance. ------------------------------------------------------...

We finally seem to have worked most of the kinks out of our OCFS/RAC setup, and are running a mass import to clone our production database for testing. While this has been going on, I fired up ocfstool to check out the states of the various shared volumes. In several cases, I saw (in the File Listing tab) multiple entries for some directories and files at the filesystem root. The duplicate directory entries all seemed to contain the same files, but some of the redundant files appeared to be old...

I am trying to mount the ocfs partitions using the following command Mount -t ocfs -o uid=oracle,gid=dba /dev/sda /ocfs01 as user oracle and group dba. However it mounts the volume as root. But if I use the ocfstool for the first and mount it as oracle:dba, the subsequent mounts using the above command line mounts the volume as oracle:dba. Is there something that I am missing or I will have to only use the ocfstool for the first time. Regards Sriram -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attach...

I figure that mkfs.ocfs may just be broken, in which case I'll just create all of my filesystems with ocfstool. I do worry, however, about the overall stability of the filesystems in the long run. The servers are...

I've created a few OCFS filesystems (RHEL 3, OCFS 1.0.9-12) while attempting to assign ownership by oracle:dba. I've done this both with ocfstool and mkfs.ocfs. They both seem to accept the parameters, but the resulting filesystem is always owned by root:root. This is not a fatal problem, since we can just throw all of our Oracle files into a properly-owned subdirectory in each filesystem, but I was wondering if this was expected behavior....

Hi all! Doing my first steps with OCFS (1.0.9), I ran across a nifty little "feature".... We've been trying if DMP with QLogic 2300 HBAs works without having DMP activated (ok, blame on me...). ocfstool allows you to mount different partitions on the same mountpoint, but after we tried that, everything went to state "D" and we chose to reboot the whole cluster (4 nodes). After rebooting, ocfstool shows 6 (!) slots per partition, with 2 nodes configured twice, each with two different...

...stion 1: At this point should I see "1"? t=1 Node A echo "2" > /ocfsmount/a Node B cat /ocfsmount/a >>>>Question 2: At this point should I see "2"? The problem is that at t=1 I am still seeing "1", however when I run ocfstool on node B I can see "2". Assuming that this is correct behaviour this must imply that Oracle writes and reads to/from the filesystem in a different manner. Is this where o_direct comes in?

Recently(in the past 6+ months) I've added some new ocfs drives I can mount them through a 'mount -t ocfs /dev/.... /...' command or the ocfstool They all have the same permissions and ownership as the original drives. But they never mount on boot. [I don't reboot very often, about 1 every 1.5yrs or so, for HW changes and alike] But regardless, I'd rather automate the mounting process for these drives.

I'll look more into this using your suggestions and hopefully if/when it happens again, I'll have more information for you all. BTW, using ocfstool, I was able to "browse" over and see the contents of that directory fine.

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

Well, I've compiled and installed Kernel 2.4.9-37 uniprocessor. I've made ocfs setup using version 1.0.9-9 uniprocessor. I've generated ocfs.conf using ocfstool. When I start ocfs using /etc/init.d/ocfs start, I receive the following errors: [root@RAC1 root]# /etc/init.d/ocfs start Loading OCFS: /sbin/insmod ocfs node_name=RAC1.localdomain ip_address=192.168.61 2 ip_port=7000 cs=1793 guid=8ABD4778558998D89F6B005056404953 comm_voting=1 /lib/modules/2.4.9-...

Another simple question. How do I calculate the size of the volume from the superblock? Do I just use the two fields: u_int32_t s_blocksize_bits; /* Blocksize for this fs */ u_int32_t s_clustersize_bits; /* Clustersize for this fs */ What is the formula to use? Thanks, John
