similar to: NFS exporting a GFS mount point

Hi, I have configured two machines for testing gfs filesystems. They are attached to a iscsi device and centos versions are: CentOS release 5.4 (Final) Linux node1.fib.upc.es 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 SMP Thu Sep 3 03:33:56 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux The problem is if I try to mount a gfs partition it hangs. [root at node2 ~]# cman_tool status Version: 6.2.0 Config Version: 29 Cluster Name:

I'm looking at using GFS for parallel access to shared storage, most likely an iSCSI resource. It will most likely work just fine but I am curious if folks are using anything with fewer system requisites (e.g. installing and configuring the Cluster Suite). Specifically to our case, we have 50 nodes running in-house code (some in Java, some in C) which (among other things) receives JPGs,

Dear CentOS people, I'm sure many have faced this before but I can't seem to figure this out. I need unattended OpenSSH and its SFTP connections to be closed after a while (say, in 10 minutes). This needs to override anything that could be done from the client side (ServerAliveInterval or keepalives a program like PuTTY can send). I kind of understand it's not always easy to

Hello CentOS people, I'm wondering if there are command tools like antiword and docx2txt for Microsoft PowerPoint files (.ppt and .pptx). The idea is to extract text from PowerPoint files. Sorry this isn't exactly about CentOS, but I'd really like it if Yum has something. I tried xlhtml, but it hasn't been updated in a while and isn't exactly wanting to work on CentOS

Hi list, I setup on 2 Xen Dom0s drbd/gfs a logical volume, this works as primary/primary so both DomUs will be able to write on them at the same time. But I dont know how to mount them from my domUs, I can see them with fdisk -l. The partition is /dev/xvdb1 SHould I install gfs on domUs and mount them on each as gfs partitions? [root@p3x0501 ~]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/xvda: 5368 MB, 5368709120

I am considering building a pair of storage servers that will be using CentOS and GFS to share the storage from a Coraid (SATA+Raid) EtherDrive shelf. Has anyone else tried such a setup? Is GFS stable enough to use in a production environment? There is a build of GFS 6.1 at http://rpm.karan.org/el4/csgfs/. Has anyone used this? Is it stable? Will I run into any problems if I use CentOS 3.5

HI, Sorry for repeating same mail ,while composing that mail i mistakenly typed the send button.I am facing problem with my gfs and below is the running setup. My setup Two node Cluster[only to create shared gfs file system] with manual fencing running on centos 4 update 5 for oracle apps. Shared gfs partition are mounted on both the node[active-active] Whenever i type df -h command it

On CentOS 5, the current centosplus kernel doesn't want to play with the kmod-gfs package (because kmod-gfs wants the stock kernel): # yum install kmod-gfs gives me: Transaction Check Error: package kernel-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5.centos.plus (which is newer than kernel-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5) is already installed Should it work, or is there a separate centosplus build that I've not

Hey All, I have a cluster setup and exporting gfs storage everything is working ok(as far as I know anyway). But instead of mounting the gfs storage I want the xen guest to be installed on the shared gfs storage. But with my current setup when I install the domU on the gfs storage it changes it to ext3. Is it possible this way or does the domU have to be on an ext file system?

Are the RPMs for the latest GFS kernel module GFS-kernel-2.6.9-72.2.0.8 to be used with the version 2.6.9-55.0.9.EL available ? I tried to compile the Source RPMs available from the Red Hat site but the modules can't be loaded because of invalid module format arising from version magic issues. The syslog shows: node0 kernel: gfs: version magic '2.6.9-55.0.9.ELsmp SMP 686 REGPARM

Hi all, Since I've got no reply on redhat cluster list, I'm trying here ... I'm testing a rhcs4 cluster with gfs. I noticed some poor performance while tarring data from a gfs volume to a local disk from both nodes at the same time, so I deceided to have a closer look. Here are the bonnie++ results: http://jure.pecar.org/gfs/ I don't know what to think of these ... but I doubt

Hello there! I made Debian, Xen 2.0 and CLUSTER/GFS work together :). I wrote this little tutorial to help you setup yours. Any feedback is welcome, except comments about W3C validation of my code :p Note that I am talking about compiling CLUSTER with your XEN kernel, I don''t explain how to setup a working cluster. You can find how to setup those in official RedHat docs. You will see,

Hi guys, I'm looking at the possibility of running a pair of servers with Dovecot LDA/imap/pop3 using internal drives with DRBD and GFS (or other clustered FS) for the mail storage and ext3 for the root drive. I'm currently using maildrop for delivery and Dovecot imap/pop3 with the stores over NFS. I'm looking for better performance but still keeping the HA element I have now with

Hello All, We are using Dovecot 1.1.3 to serve IMAP on a pair of clustered Postfix servers which share a fiber array via the GFS clustered filesystem. This all works very well for the most part, with the exception that certain operations are so inefficient on GFS that they generate significant I/O load and hurt performance. We are using the Maildir format on disk. We're also using

This is the 2nd time this has happened to me. There was a kernel release over the weekend to .67.0.15, yet, they did not release the updated GFS to go along with it, so when the machine rebooted, there was no gfs file system in the new running kernel which in turn wreaked havoc on my cluster. I truly wish they would not do that :). I guess I shall have to not allow automatic yum updates from

Hello: I am planning to implement GFS for my university as a summer project. I have 10 servers each with SAN disks attached. I will be reading and writing many files for professor's research projects. Each file can be anywhere from 1k to 120GB (fluid dynamic research images). The 10 servers will be using NIC bonding (1GB/network). So, would GFS be ideal for this? I have been reading a lot

I have 2 machines in a cluster using GFS, that many client mount up via nfs. We use quotas extensively here, is there a way from a client machine to check a users quota? Standard quota command on client machines do not work like they do when checking a non-gfs nfs mounted file system. The quotas do work however, when a user exceeds quota and tries to write a file, it tell them that quota has

Hello I read about the technology and i found all amazing and great challenger, i like to test and install soon---, for this reason i have some question about this. GFS / CS I see the gfs and cs download into http://bender.it.swin.edu.au/centos-3/ and http://mirrors.csol.org/CentOS/3/csgfs/i386/RPMS/ What are the diference in both packages? Anyone has using this technologies? and example of

Hello, I''ve to choose between 2 Shares files system installing on Dom0 to share between 3 DomU in full-Virt mode.... I think i may choose GFS file system ... What is your advice about this choice???
