[Ocfs2-users] 10gR2, oifcfg fails on ocfs2

[Steffen Roegner]

Howdy,

I am trying to setup a 10gR2 RAC on top of some nbd devices. OS is 
Centos4.1/i386, (2.6.9-11.0.0.10.3.EL, ocfs2-2.6.9-11.0.0.10.3.EL-1.0.4-1).
ocfs2 setup went perfectly well, btw. (besides the fact that 
ocfs2console apparently ignores nbd disks)

mount says
/dev/nbd1 on /opt/oradata/data1 type ocfs2 (rw,_netdev)
on both nodes

ls says (after runInstaller was started, so the files were created by 
the installer)
[oracle at itchy ~]$ ls -lh /opt/oradata/data1
total 1.0K
drwxr-xr-x  2 oracle dba 1.0K Sep 24 19:25 lost+found
-rw-r-----  1 root   dba    0 Sep 16  1971 ocr.dat
-rw-r--r--  1 oracle dba    0 Sep 16  1971 quorum

The next task in runInstaller is the Cluster init with the configuration 
assistants, this is where oifcfg fails (according to 
$ORACLE_HOME/cfgtoollogs/configToolAllCommands).
This is in $ORACLE_HOME/log/itchy/client/oifcfg.log, whenever I (try to) 
use oifcfg (even with -help)

I am a little nervous about that mentioning of OCRRAW.
But my basic question is: is the cluster registry supported on ocfs2? 
And if yes - what is wrong here?
