Oh yeah - easy way to check, Randy: Next time your node hangs, get on the OTHER NODE and go into each directory where files are being opened (datafiles, archivelogs, controlefiles, redo logs, etc) and delete a file (you can create one first then delete it). If this causes the hung node to recover then you're having the same problem I was having. Jeremy >>> "Jeremy

I'm currently part of a project implementing Oracle eBusiness Suite 11i on RAC. We're using a two-node cluster with shared storage, both nodes are configured identical. Kernel is 2.4.9-e.27enterprise and ocfs is 1.0.9-11. I have checked and the shared storage can be accessed directly without any problems from both nodes (/dev/sdx). Curious if anyone has any suggestions or comments

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

having a problem with ocfs. device /dev/sdd mounted on 2 nodes, node 0 and node 1 tried to create file /u01/oracle/prod/proddata/temp01.dbf from node 1 (ALTER TABLESPACE TEMP ADD TEMPFILE...) caused oracle server process to hang in a "D" state apparently trying to create the file. the file has not been created yet.

We are running Linux AS 2.1 .27 enterprise on an EMC CX400 SAN with ocfs version enterprise 1.0.9-12. After formatting the partitions the response from the filesystem is very slow during either read or writes. Even worse, while we can create a directory, we are unable to delete the directory after it has been created. Every time any directory is attempted to be removed with rmdir we get a

Hi... I have a strange problem with my Private NIC Channel, here is my environment details : 1. RHAS 2.1 with kernel 2.4.9-e.27 Enterprise 2. OCFS version : 2.4.9-e-enterprise-1.0.9-6 3.

Private NIC Channel: Broadcom BCM5700 My Private NIC channel is down intermittently, we just tracing the root of the problems by identify each product installed the

Anyone tracking svn for the last week or so has probably noticed the large number of changes happening to the code base. We're making some disk format changes, so people tracking ocfs2 will also have to closely track ocfs-tools trunk. Also, be prepared to have to reformat your file systems :) As far as what we're actually doing -- we're (finally!) fixing the directory layout issues

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

Haven't really tried this yet, but I'm wondering what the direction is for official ocfs support on SLES9. Anyone know if there are plans to support OCFS 1.x on sles9 at some point? I know it's a 2.6 kernel instead of 2.4... thanks, Jeremy This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual(s) and purpose, and is protected

I am starting to see a few issues with OCFS and 9.2.0.3 RAC on redHat Linux AS 2.1. Wondering if there is anyone out there experiencing similar issues... a few pointers to the issues.. 1. OCFS read/write performance is way lower than a read/write to a raw device.. i can give you some comparison numbers.. 2. Writes to shared disk with ocfs would get locked up by one server.. it doesnt have to

Here's a basic overview of the bug and a workaround for any DBA's or SysAdmin's reading this list. I'm sure that there will be an official fix soon, this is just an FYI if you run into the problem I had in the meantime. As soon as you install the updated ocfs-*.rpm the problem will go away. (You won't even need to fsck or anything... aren't they such nice guys?)

what do you guys think about the best way to use DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST with ocfs? specifically, I'm wondering about archive logs... one thing i really like about using a flash recovery area it's space management features (after i copy my archivelogs to tape, it still keeps a copy around until it needs to reclaim the space) with ocfs v1 i've always wanted to give each node it's

Sorry for cross posting, but I somehow came to think that this question might possibly be more suitable in this mailinglist. I am currently fiddeling around with Fedora Core 2. Does anyone of you have any pointers on where to start reading to compile OCFS 1.0.13 on a 2.6.8 kernel? Is it at all possible?

Can I create an OCFS 2 filesystem over a ASM volume to store datafiles? Thanks! Roger---

Hello, I want to use ocfs for a 10g RAC installation on a 2 node cluster, consisting of 1 Athlon and 1 Pentium machine with Firewire storage. OS is RHAS 3. Since I need to build my own binary Athlon rpm's, I downloaded ocfs-1.0.12.tar.gz ocfs-tools-1.0.10.tar.gz I was able to install both (./configure ; make - make install). When I try to load_ocfs I get lots of errors
