[Ocfs2-users] self fencing and system panic problem afterforced reboot

Thu Sep 14 05:30:01 PDT 2006

Hi Holger

Maybe you should try the fscat tools
(http://oss.oracle.com/projects/fscat/) - which has a fsls (to list) and
fscp (to copy) directly from the device.

I have not tried it yet, so good luck!

afterforced reboot

side note: setting HEARBEAT_THRESHOLD to 30 did not help either.

could it be that the syncronization between the daemons does not work?
(e.g daemons think fs is mounted on some nodes and try to synchonize but
actually the fs isn't mounted on any node?)

i'm rather clueless now. finding a way to access the data and copy it to
the non shared partitions would help me a lot.

thx
