Nevertheless I have some strange findings on the way. First MD5 of the original and the copied files are different and oracle's dbv utility gave me lots of curruptions on the copied files. But as I have stated earlier, I was able to start Oracle-RAC on the copied files and to mirgrate these from 32bit to 64bit words. If the MD5s didn't match and dbv gate you errors, that doesn't sound like it was successful. Are you sure you used the latest fscat? Did you use o_direct enabled md5sum for the OCFS md5? If there are bugs, I'd like to fix them! Joel -- "Get right to the heart of matters. It's the heart that matters more."
