[Ocfs2-users] self fencing and system panicproblem afterforced reboot

[Eckenfels. Bernd]

Did you get read error (media sense or something like that) messages in
the kernel log (dmesg) while using the debug tool. Ocfs2 should really
not kill the cluster in that case.

afterforced reboot

i guess i found the solution. while dumping some files with debugfs, it
suddenly stopped working and could not be killed. and guess what, media
error on the drive :-/. funny that a filesystem check succeeds.

anyway thx a lot to those who responded.
