I successfully have OCFS running in a two-node RAC environment using RHAS 3 (2.4.21-4.EL) using Qlogic 2310 cards. IO performance, however, was terrible with the combination of OCFS and the Qlogic cards. After extensive testing, OCFS did fine on its own, as did the fibre cards. Put the two together, and everything literally ran twice as slow. Support at Qlogic pointed me to

Hi All, I am getting this error after updating RHEL 3 Update 5 to update 8.. After upgrading OCFS loading get failed boot.log entries Nov 10 06:00:00 HHMEA load_ocfs: modprobe: Can't locate module ocfs Nov 10 06:00:00 HHMEA load_ocfs: load_ocfs: insmod failed Nov 10 06:00:01 HHMEA ocfs:  failed Nov 10 06:00:01 HHMEA mount: mount: fs type ocfs not supported by kernel I had given depmod

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.

Hello, I'm trying to implement the Oracle RAC on a firewire shared disk. I've patched the kernel (for multiple login firewire support), and both nodes can see the shared disk. Then, i've installed the files necessary for ocfs: ocfs-2.4.20-smp-1.0.8-4.i386.rpm ocfs-support-1.0.8-4.i386.rpm ocfs-tools-1.0.8-4.i386.rpm However, when i do a '/sbin/load_ocfs' this is what i get:

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.

Is the following statement still valid for either OCFS 1.0.9-12 or OCFS 1.0.11-1?

Running database in ASYNC mode in RHEL 3 has a potential risk of redo logs failure due to some short io's. A note from http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs/dist/files/RedHat/RHEL3/i386/README.txt says that the above mentioned problem is fixed in OCFS 1.0.9-12 "RELEASE 1.0.9-12 Fixes a potential corruption with large, aligned, direct I/Os, for example Oracle redo logs or direct path SQL

Hi, I'm new to the list, so forgive me if I'm asking several naive questions that have been answered a dozen times before. I have RHAS with kernel version 2.4.9-e.10smp, running ocfs-support-1.0-2, ocfs-tools-1.0-2, ocfs-2.4.9-e.10-smp-1.0-2. I have Oracle 9iR2 RAC up and running on an IBM fiber channel architecture.

Thanks Sunil for your advice. I tried that both for ocfs-tools-1.0.10.tar.gz and ocfs-1.0.12.tar.gz. ./configure --with kernel=/usr/src/linux-2.4.21.-9.0.01.ELorafw1 make KVER=up make install That was successful. When I tried to load_ocfs I still got "undefined symbol" errors. I found another ocfs-users thread from April where Wim suggested using the i686 kernel

Sort of a followup... We've been running OCFS in sync mode for a little over a month now, and it has worked reasonably well. Performance is still a bit spotty, but we're told that the next kernel update for RHEL3 should improve the situation. We might eventually move to Polyserve's cluster filesystem for its multipathing capability and potentially better performance, but at least we
