I looked around, found older post which seems not applicable anymore. I have a cluster of 2 nodes right now, which has 3 OCFS2 file systems. All the file systems were formatted with 4 node slots. I added the two news nodes (by hand, by ocfs2console and o2cb_ctl), so my /etc/ofcfs/cluster.conf looks right: node: ip_port = 7777 ip_address = 192.168.201.1 number = 0

Hello everyone, once again. We are running into a problem, which has shown now 2 times, possible 3 (once the systems looked different.) The environment is 6 HP DL360/380 g5 servers with eth0 being the public interface, eth1 and bond0 (eth2 and eth3) used for clusterware and bond0 also used for OCFS2. The bond0 interface is in active/passive mode. There are no network errors counters showing and

This may or may not be ext3 related but I am trying to find any pointers which might help me. I got a number of HP Proliant DL380 g5 with a P400 controller and also two qla2400 cards. The OS is RedHat EL4 U5 x86_64. Every time during reboot these systems panic after the last umount and I believe before the cciss driver is getting unloaded. The last messages I am able to see are: md: stopping

Greetings, Last night I manually unpresented and deleted a LUN (a SAN snapshot) that was presented to one node in a four node RAC environment running OCFS2 v1.4.1-1. The system then rebooted with the following error: Oct 21 16:45:34 ausracdb03 kernel: (27,1):o2hb_write_timeout:166 ERROR: Heartbeat write timeout to device dm-24 after 120000 milliseconds Oct 21 16:45:34 ausracdb03 kernel:

We are setting up 2 new EL5 U4 machines to replace our current database servers running our demo environment. We use 3Par SANs and their snap clone options. The current production system we snap clone from is EL4 U5 with ocfs2 1.2.9, the new servers have ocfs2 1.4.3 installed. Part of the refresh process is to run fsck.ocfs2 on the volume to recover, but right now as I am trying to run it on our

We just installed a new cluster with 6 HP DL380g5, dual single port Qlogic 24xx HBAs connected via two HP 4/16 Storageworks switches to a 3Par S400. We are using the 3Par recommended config for the Qlogic driver and device-mapper-multipath giving us 4 paths to the SAN. We do see some SCSI errors where DM-MP is failing a path after get a 0x2000 error from the SAN controller, but the path gets puts

Hi there I recently installed an OCFS2 filesystem on our FC-SAN. Everything seemed to work fine and I could read & write the filesystem from both servers that are mounting it. After a while though, writes coming from one node do not appear on the other node and vice versa. I am not sure what's causing this, and not very experienced at debugging filesystems. If anybody has any

I am running into performance issues with ext3. Historically we had our image files (pictures of cars, currently 5.3 million) sub divided into a directory structure [0-9]/[0-9]/[0-9]/[0-9], where we would take the first 4 letters/numbers of the file name and use that to put it into this structure. Letters [a-cA-C] would become a 0, [d-fD-F] a 1, etc. As the file names used to be based on VIN

Hello, everyone. To make life for our operations team easier I am looking at setting up a mail mirror of any email which gets sent from certain machines. My current ideas go along the following lines: Each machine will use the Postfix "always_bcc" option and set it to an address like mailmirror at mailmirror.openlane.com. On mailmirror I am looking at setting up Dovecot with public

As RedHat has a limited choice of file systems it supports, I have a need to use EXT3 together with Oracle and a SAN SnapShot (3Par Snapclone). I was wondering if anyone could give me some feed back as to the "best" method to do that. So far I am thinking: Put Oracle into Backup mode Run sync (or multiple times) Execute Snapshot command on SAN (takes less then 1 second). Take Oracle

Just checking to be sure this isn''t a known bug or problem. I couldn''t find a bz for this, but it would appear that tunefs.lustre --print fails on a lustre mdt or ost device if mounted with mmp. Is this expected behavior? TIA mds1-gps:~ # tunefs.lustre --print /dev/mapper/mdt1 checking for existing Lustre data: not found tunefs.lustre FATAL: Device /dev/mapper/mdt1 has not

Hi I have an ocfs2 volume (1.4.1) on lvm2, which is made available on 2 nodes via dual primary drbd that is on it. I wanted to backup my volume, so naturally I made a snapshot of it via the lvm2, and tried to mount it for backing up. However, I got the following error in dmesg : [319981.478168] (23483,0):ocfs2_fill_super:700 ERROR: Unable to create per-mount debugfs root. I then searched

Hi all, I upgraded ocfs from 1.2 to 1.4 after the update I launched tunefs.ocfs2 to enable the new ocfs2 features (sparse files and unwritten extents). tunefs.ocfs2 is now running since 2 days (12T partition) and I need my system back to production, can I safety abort tunefs.ocfs2? thanks Nicola

One of ocfs2 filesystem has some errors. 1. fsck.ocfs2 informs me that : "I/O error on channel while reading .. " It was NOT TRUE - I was able to read and write entire storage over the network multiple times. 2. becouse of CRC errors and suggestion to disable metaecc I run tunefs.ocfs2 --fs-features=nometaecc /dev/xxx funefs allocate 9,89 GB of virtual memory and 95% of

I am looking at upgrading from the RHEL4U5 kernel set to U6 or beyond. Updates has 2.6.9-67.0.20, oss site only has rpms for up to 2.6.9-67.0.15. Any ETA for .20 modules?

Hi, I'm sending a patch for proper quota support when disabling sparse feature. The second patch fixes a minor problem in tunefs.ocfs2 when disabling the sparse feature. In a few days I plan to resend the whole "quota support" series with all the changes people request included... Honza

We have a test 10gR2 RAC cluster using ocfs2 filesystems for the Clusterware files and the Database files. We need to increase the node slots to accomodate new RAC nodes. Is it true that we will need to umount these filesystems for the upgrade (i.e. Database and Clusterware also)? We are planning to use the following command format to perform the node slot increase: # tunefs.ocfs2 ?N 3

I am trying to make a mysql standby setup with 2 machines, one primary and one hot standby, which both share disk for the data directory. I used tunefs.ocfs2 to change the number of open slots to 1 since only one machine should be accessing it at a time. This way it is fairly safe to assume one shouldn't clobber the other's data. Only problem is, if one node dies, the mount lock still
