<div>Hi,</div> <div>I sent an email to Mark Fisheh of Oracle Corp. & posted this issue at OTN under <SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1196091174_0 style="CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed">Linux</SPAN> thread this morning. I hope that someone among you might have experienced this and can help. On that basis, I am sending this to you too. I am stuck & will really appreciate if you can shed some light on this. </div> <DIV>Thanks.</DIV> <DIV>Anjan</DIV> <DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">***********************************************************************************************************</SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I have a 2 node CentOS 4.5 86_64 system (kernel 2.6.9-55.EL).
