Hi, we have a 2 node / 3 node RAC installation with OCFS. We have the following observations. 1. TIME STAMP Issue We have noticed that the time stamp which is shown on the datafiles doesnt remain the same even after a shutdown normal /shutdown immediate i.e If I shutdown all RAC instances ( A , B , C) using shutdown normal / immediate, the timestamp on the datafiles are not the same. Even

Hi All, we are using Red Hat 2.1 Kernel e38 along with MSA 1000. ocfs version being used is $ rpm -qa | grep ocfs ocfs-tools-1.0.10-1 ocfs-2.4.9-e-enterprise-1.0.12-1 ocfs-support-1.0.10-1 Database Version is 9.2.0.5 However we find that the performance of the database on OCFS is too slow. even a select count(1) from all_tables takes like a while to complete. We initially assumed RAC is

Hi Sunil, I had filed a bug and saw your response stating that it would be fixed in version 14. In the meanwhile , what we want to know is whether this bug is a minor bug and can be ignored for now. Does reporting 100% inodes cause any problem for the OCFS file system or can we ignore this bug and go into production. Also can you tell us by when version 14 would be released. R'gds

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

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.

Hi Is anyone using OCFS with BCV on EMC, or any other similar software. R'gds Varghese Abraham.

Does anybody knows if is there a certified procedure in to backup a RAC DB 10.2.0.3 based on OCFS2 , via split mirror or snaphots technology ? Using Linux LVM and OCFS2, does anybody knows if is possible to dinamically extend an OCFS filesystem, once the underlying LVM Volume has been extended ? Thanks in advance Riccardo Paganini

A few weeks back we opened a TAR with Oracle support to determine whether an OCFS (1.0.9-12) + async configuration was considered supportable. At first a technician said yes, but I followed up with Wim's explanation of how that combination is potentially troublesome and inadequately tested. The technician double-checked, then confirmed that OCFS + async is considered risky. He did say that a

Hi, The Samba URL http://us3.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/ does not seem to have a FreeBSD binary package. I tried a web search but to no avail. I have searched the samba list archives and i could not find any pointers either. Any assistance would be most welcome Thanks in Advance, -- Vivek Varghese Cherian Free as in Freedom <www.gnu.org>

Hi all, Sorry to break in, but I find this thread a bit interesting. Jeram: I'm not very familiar with HP storage and cannot find too much info on the EVA 6000 array. Is it related to the EVA 5000 somehow, or is it a NAS array? In any case, how is the array configured. If the algorithm for hartbeat is as described earlier (36 sector reads and one write per second (per host???)) then you

>also - for async io ; >p2448994_9204_LINUX.zip is the patch to apply for oracle >(this is metalink ARU patch number). Wim, The patch description on Metalink says: DIRECT IO SUPPORT ON EXT2 FILESYSTEM Which wasn't quite what I was expecting.

RPM building of ocfs-tools appears to be broken. I think this is because the DIST_FILES have not yet been completely updated for all the changes. Is anyone working on this? I'll send in the stuff that I fix as I complete it. John

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

Hi OCFS Gurus... I have 2 questions for OCFS ver 1.0.10.1 1. What is the Maximum mount point suggested if we are using OCFS ? 2. Is there any method to tune the OCFS to booster the IO performance? Awaiting ur responses... Thanks in Advance... Rgds/Jeram

Hi, well i mounted the OCFS drive over nfs, but it seems to have problems with it, because the NFS does not detect changes (if I add or delete files) the nfs shares still shows the old status. If i delete a file on the OCFS volume, and i am doing a "ls" on one of the nfs clients, it says for every file which was on the ocfs, "no such file or directory". Did I miss

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, Is this "Unresolved Symbols" issue only occurring on VMware with e.38? We have OCFS users want to update their kernel to e.34 or e.38 without VMware. Please advise, Thanks!
