[Ocfs-users] cp --o_direct

[David Sharples]

Thanks,

When doing that command it works and the file gets copied.

and yes I am using AS2.1. and /tmp is ext3

However I get the same error(?) when I try to copy between two ocfs filesystems

[oracle at LNCSTRTLDB03 tmp]$ cp /ocfs/oradata/LPTE3/odm01.dbf
/ocfs4/oradata/LPTE3/
cp: cannot stat `/ocfs/oradata/LPTE3/odm01.dbf': No such file or directory
[oracle at LNCSTRTLDB03 tmp]$ cp /ocfs1/oradata/LPTE3/odm01.dbf
/ocfs4/oradata/LPTE3/
cp: cannot open `/ocfs1/oradata/LPTE3/odm01.dbf' for reading: Permission denied
[oracle at LNCSTRTLDB03 tmp]$ cp --o_direct
/ocfs1/oradata/LPTE3/odm01.dbf /ocfs4/oradata/LPTE3/
cp: cannot open `/ocfs1/oradata/LPTE3/odm01.dbf' for reading: Permission denied
[oracle at LNCSTRTLDB03 tmp]$ cp --o_direct=131072,0
/ocfs1/oradata/LPTE3/odm01.dbf /ocfs4/oradata/LPTE3/
[oracle at LNCSTRTLDB03 tmp]$

just to prove that they are really ocfs :-)

[root at LNCSTRTLDB03 root]# debugocfs -h /dev/sda1
debugocfs 1.1.2-PROD1 Fri Apr  2 13:59:11 PST 2004 (build
fcb0206676afe0fcac47a99c90de0e7b)
diskheader:
        version = 1.2
        signature = OracleCFS
        mount_point = /ocfs1

and

[root at LNCSTRTLDB03 root]# debugocfs -h /dev/sda4
debugocfs 1.1.2-PROD1 Fri Apr  2 13:59:11 PST 2004 (build
fcb0206676afe0fcac47a99c90de0e7b)
diskheader:
        version = 1.2
        signature = OracleCFS
        mount_point = /ocfs4

Am i missing something here?
