similar to: ocfs partition not freeing up space after a delete

an ocfs-volume was nearly full (only 800MB free). i deleted some datafiles to free space: $ df -h . Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sdp1 10G 5.3G 4.8G 53% /db/DPS so there are more than 4GB available. $ sqlplus /nolog SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production on Wed Sep 1 12:57:48 2004 Copyright (c) 1982, 2002, Oracle Corporation.

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

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 We're getting ready to start work with Oracle 9iRAC on Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1. One thing I'm curious about, that I haven't found an answer for in the docs, is how to handle partition resizing with OCFS. We have found on our Oracle 8i/Solaris systems that we have the need on occasion to expand partitions to make room for more

Hi, Irecently setup a Oracle 10g RAC test environment with two HP/Compaq DL380s and a shared disk array. The array is presented as a single 136GB disk. The systems are running RedHat AS 3.0 Update 4. OCFS 1.0.13-PROD1 build: 5e87201061935f464cf6541c56eb2827 Oracle 10g 10.1.0.3.0 I was able to get everything working, had a database created and running an instance on each system. The

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

Are there any known issues with using a split mirror of the OCFS partitions for backups? One option we are looking at is as follows: 1. Put tablespace in backup mode. 2. Split the mirror at the SAN level. 3. end tablespace backup mode. 4. mount the OCFS mirror under a different mount point. 5. backup the files on the OCFS mirror using RMAN. The question is how feasibile it is for step #4 to

Hi, Experts. I'm Taisuke Gishi, the support engineer of Oracle Japan. I would like to ask you the following questions about OCFS. I think we can't extend OCFS partition ,is it correct ? If it is correct,is there technical subject that is made not to extend OCFS partition? I would be greatful if you could provide me with now and future condition. Thank you in advance for your attention.

Dear all, This maybe one of the FAQs on OCFS. From Oracle's note : 237997.1 "Linux OCFS - Best Practice" point 5 "Calculating an OCFS Partition Size" it mentions: OCFS supports partitions of up to 1Tb (tested). Since no volume management is built into OCFS, Oracle recommends enabling hardware raid support to create logical disk volumes of sufficient size. If hardware

I've been reading this group for a while and I've noticed a variety of comments regarding running OCFS on top of path-management packages such as EMC's Powerpath, and it brought to mind a problem I've been having. I'm currently testing a six-node cluster connected to a Hitachi 9570V SAN storage array, using OCFS 1.0.12. I have six LUNs presented to the hosts using HDLM,

Well, you are the second person who has complained about the performance of OCFS with the PERC controller. Best option would be to contact DELL. We are in contact with them... as in, they inform us of any issues they have with linux/ocfs on their hardware. As we do not have this particular hardware inhouse, all we can only speculate as to what the issue is. Things to look for ==> output

Hi Dean, Thanks for your kind help. Since I couldn't use vpn in Intel and be a little late after I arrived home, I didn't get chance to modify the TAR on metalink. Tomorrow, I will go CDC and update it accordingly. We think all the problems should be caused by OCFS itself. There are two outstanding problem for now. First, we will get below error message when we issue "srvconfig

We are seeing some performance issues runnig on 64-bit Linux. Running against a raw partition we can get 100MB/s write speed when creating a datafile. Using OCFS we get 30-40MB/s and at times it is so slow it is hard to measure. Anyone else see these issues? We are running the latest versions of both Oracle and OCFS. I've opened a ticket with Oracle but am interested in other's

Hi, ocfs-2.4.9-e-enterprise-1.0.12-1 Redhat 2.1 enterprise kernel Dont know if this is a problem or not but our monitoring software picked up that an ocfs filesystem has a lack of inodes available to it [root]# df -i Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/sdh 163825 163527 298 100% /a04 This filesystem has about 11 files in it and isnt used, so

Greetings, I installed RedHat Linux AS version 3/Update 3 over the weekend, along with ocfs RPMs that are listed below: ocfs-2.4.21-EL-smp-1.0.13-1.i686.rpm ocfs-support-1.0.10-1.i386.rpm ocfs-tools-1.0.10-1.i386.rpm Oracle 10g was then installed on the systems. On both the test cluster that I used and the production cluster that I installed over the weekend are some pretty strange lines

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?

Wim, Thanks for your prompt response on this. The tpmC figures look very impressive, and tpmC is read intensive. I had already read note 236679.1 "Comparing Performance Between RAW IO vs OCFS vs EXT2/3" which I guess is the article to which you are referring; it made me suspect that the poor performance was due to the lack of an OS IO cache but I wasn't sure. The database is

Well, I've downloaded the kernel source code from http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/redhat/linux/updates/enterprise/2.1AS/en/os /SRPMS/kernel-2.4.18-e.40.src.rpm and compiled it for x86 (i686). Is this kernel compatible with ocfs ?? __________________________________________ Mauro Staretz - MI Montreal Inform?tica Ltda Microsoft MCSE+I / MCDBA / MCP - Oracle OCP Tel: 55-21-2291-6116 R.2104

Hi All Does anyone have information on OCFS compatibility with Legato. i.e Can we use Letato to backup directly from OCFS Volumes. Also does OCFS work with BCV.

What does 'modprobe -d ocfs' show? If it tells you 'symbols not found' it's the RPMs incompatible with your kernel version. Ensure you have the correct RPMs. Successful 'rpm -ivh' doesn't mean correct installation.
