Project News: OCFS2
2007.11.07: OCFS2 1.2.7-1
OCFS2 1.2.7-1 for RHEL4 and RHEL5 is released.
This release includes three frequently requested updates.
The first is fix is for bug#5852483. This concerns a possible memory leak in the
size-64 slab during asynchronous io. This bug typically rears its head during the
RMAN backup.
The second is a new feature, local mounts. This will allow users to mount OCFS2
volumes like any other local file system, i.e., without having to startup the cluster.
Refer the man pages for tunefs.ocfs2 and mkfs.ocfs2 for learning how to toggle
volumes between cluster and local mounts.
The third change concerns the new default cluster timeouts. These new timeouts
are the same as ones we have been testing with for a long time and were the ones
that were the default for the first EL5 release of OCFS2 (1.2.6-1). These are:
O2CB_HEARTBEAT_THRESHOLD = 31
O2CB_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS = 30000
O2CB_KEEPALIVE_DELAY_MS = 2000
O2CB_RECONNECT_DELAY_MS = 2000
Refer to the
Cluster Timeouts section in the FAQ for more information.
Relevant changes post 1.2.5-6 and 1.2.6-6 are listed below.
