[Ocfs-users] Problem with OCFS and EMC Snapshots

[Sunil Mushran]

define.. unreadable.

Is the disk mounting? I assume not. What are the errors?

Also, is this snapshot writable? As in, can a process write to this 
snapshot volume.
Considering we do heartbeat on the disk itself, wondering if that is the 
cause of the
error.
