<H4>Hi there,</H4>
A month ago we ran into the fsck issue while rebooting one of the Oracle RAC nodes running on Linux RHEL 5.2. It was hanging for 1.5 hours<BR>
During the reboot, OS portion went fine, then it activated the data volumes in all data vg's with [OK]<BR>
Then displayed message: Checking filesystems - and it took it 1.5 hrs, then it finished the reboot.<BR>
<BR>
Last weekend we rebooted the same box and faced the same issue, however, we sent the break, commented out (last "0" in /etc/fstab did not work neither) all OCFS2 lines in /etc/fstab and it booted fine. Then we mount -a them and life was good.<BR>
<BR>
Also we added later on the fastboot to the grub.conf, then booted it - no problem for obvious reasons.<BR>
<BR>
If anyone experienced the same issue - would you mind to light into the tonnel and share your experience and perhaps the fix?<BR>
<H4>Thanks<BR> Sergey Prilutsky </H4><A target=_blank></A>
