<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just configured-up my first, two-node OCFS2
cluster with one mount-point (sdb1). (I know, hooray for you,
newbie.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm just noticing that there is almost-constant
activity on sdb, even when neither node is actually doing anything (obvious)
with the mount-point. The OCFS2 cluster is started and running on both
nodes, but there are no procs or users using the fs, yet there's so much
"overhead"?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is this common and to be expected? Are there
any "tuning parameters" (other than number of nodes) that I should be aware
of? I'm just surprised at how much disk activity is happening with nothing
using the disks, and am almost afraid of what happens when we get a
disk-intensive app using it from multiple nodes.</FONT></DIV>

this time. Versions: CentOS 4.5, OCFS2-1.2.5.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in advance for any
advice/pointers/tips.</FONT></DIV>
