[Ocfs2-announce] Re: ocfs2 and configfs.ko..fixed...but gnuparted has issues....

Wed Jun 1 05:42:06 CDT 2005

I was able to get the source code for ocfs2 and compile it. This worked and created the necessary .ko files

Now I have to figure out why gnu parted 1.6.15 has bugs. when I try a partprobe on a partitioned firewire maxtor drive
mount -t ocfs2 /dev/sdb1 /u01/oradata/orcl

It says no such device....
Any ideas anyone?...

  Hi
  I am new to linux and clustering, but I am trying to setup ocfs2 and rac10g on fedora 3 (Linux linux2 2.6.9-5.0.3.EL.orafw1smp #1 SMP Mon Mar 7 22:29:31 PST 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux)
  have a dell 4700 and dell 3000 both with 1 GB RAM and a 250G maxtor share drive...( build your own 10grac ..from technet.oracle.com)
  =======================
  # rpm -qa|grep -i ocfs2
  ocfs2-2.6.9-5.0.5.EL-0.99.9-1
  ocfs2-tools-0.99.8-1
  ocfs2console-0.99.8-1
  # rpm -qa|grep -i kernel
  kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL.orafw1
  kernel-2.6.11-1.27_FC3
  kernel-devel-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL.orafw1
  kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.49_FC3
  kernel-2.6.9-1.667
  kernel-doc-2.6.11-1.27_FC3
  kernel-smp-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL.orafw1

  I installed the ocfs2 tools,console. However two things:
  =======================
  1.when i ran ocfs2console as per the doc, it did not allow me to configure any cluster definition.
  no /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf file existed. no /etc/ocfs2 existed.

    so i created the /etdc/ocfs2/cluster.conf file manually
  # cat /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf
  cluster:
  node_count = 2
  name = CLUSTER1

  node:
  ip_port = 7777
  ip_address = 192.168.2.10
  number = 0
  name = int-linux1
  cluster = CLUSTER1

  node:
  ip_port = 7777
  ip_address = 192.168.2.20
  number = 1
  name = int-linux2
  cluster = CLUSTER1

  2. the load for o2cb failed.
  ===========================
  # /etc/init.d/o2cb configure
  Configuring the O2CB driver.

  This will configure the on-boot properties of the O2CB driver.
  The following questions will determine whether the driver is loaded on
  boot.  The current values will be shown in brackets ('[]').  Hitting
  <ENTER> without typing an answer will keep that current value.  Ctrl-C
  will abort.

  Load O2CB driver on boot (y/n) [y]: y

  # vi modules.dep
  # modprobe configfs
  FATAL: Error inserting configfs (/lib/modules/2.6.9-5.0.3.EL.orafw1smp/kernel/fs/configfs/configfs.ko): Invalid module format
  ======================
  Is there a separate version of configfs.ko for 2.6.9-5.0.3.EL.orafw1smp?
