similar to: Ocfs mount issues

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

Hello again. I am setting up a new pair of servers to run RAC. They're connected via fibre-channel to a hardware RAID array, and both are able to see the exposed LUNs. When I create an OCFS filesystem on one node with mkfs.ocfs, I can mount it. When I try to mount from the other node, however, it fails. After that, the filesystem is left in a state where neither node can mount it. The

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!

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

Hi, If I have ocfs on 2 nodes should I be able to do the following: t=0 Node A echo "1" > /ocfsmount/a Node B cat /ocfsmount/a >>>>Question 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

In installing 10g\RAC we hit an issue that has been indentified as a bug with CRS where the cluster locking files cannot be implemented under OCFS. Supposedly they work fine when implemented 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

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 trying to compile ocfs 1.0.9 and when I execute ./configure I receive the following error msg: *** the gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found *** If GTK wall installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in *** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environmet variable to the *** full path to gtk-config configure: warning GTK+ not found, ocfstool will not be be built when I run

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

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

Had a problem starting Oracle after expanding an EMC Metalun. We get the following errors: >WARNING: OemInit2: Opened file(/oradata/dbf/quorum.dbf 8), tid = main:1024 file = oem.c, line = 491 {Sun Apr 17 10:33:41 2005 } >ERROR: ReadOthersDskInfo(): ReadFile(/oradata/dbf/quorum.dbf) failed(5) - (0) bytes read, tid = main:1024 file = oem.c, line = 1396 {Sun Apr 17 10:33:41 2005 }

Looking for any ideas where I need to look to fix this: I'm installing RHEL3 AS (update 4) on Dell PowerEdge 6850's. I've installed the hugemem kernels on these boxes and need to install and run ocfs. Kernel: ------- 2.4.21-27.0.4.ELhugemem Loaded the ocfs rpm's --------------------- # rpm -qa | grep ocfs ocfs-2.4.21-EL-smp-1.0.14-1 ocfs-support-1.1.5-1 ocfs-2.4.21-EL-1.0.14-1

Hi, I'm setting up ocfs on opensuse 10.3 with kernel 2.6.22.5-31 . Appreciate if you could guide on the solution to this error.

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

I have noticed that OCFS is not updating the filesystem space stats when datafiles are reduced in size: is this Bug 62, and if so is there an expected fix date? ocfs-2.4.9-e-enterprise-1.0.11-1 ocfs-support-1.0.10-1 ocfs-tools-1.0.10-1 Linux sgl43d-122 2.4.9-e.35enterprise #1 SMP Wed Jan 7 15:11:27 EST 2004 i686 unknown bytes name 2097152000 /data/oracle/QSG40/u01/dtr_med_i_02.dbf /dev/sdc1

Ivan, I found the same thing after doing an upgrade a couple of months ago and mailed this list. Never got a response. We had to fdisk the shared disks and remount them and restore db from backup.

Gtk+devel was not installed. So I installed this package and its dependencies. But I'm still receiving the same error msg. gtk-config is in /usr/bin/gtk-config. I set GTK_CONFIG env variable to gtk-config full path but nothing changed. It seems that the compilation is looking for gtk version 1.2.8 but mine is 1.2.10-11.

we started using an ocfs file system about 4 months ago as the shared archived redo destination for the 4-node rac instances (HP dl380, msa1000, RH AS 2.1) . last night we are seeing some weird behavior, and my guess is the inode directory in the file system is getting corrupted. I've always had a bad feeling about OCFS not being very robust at handling constant file creation and deletion

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
