[Ocfs2-users] Another node is heartbeating in ourslot! errorswith LUN removal/addition

Thanks for the info.  I've just now finally gotten around to trying
this.  Here's my setup:

A three node cluster and a separate backup node.  The SAN is configured
to give the cluster access to just the live volume and the backup node
access to just the snapshots.  The backup node is also given a different
OCFS2 cluster.conf file so that it doesn't try to communicate with the
other nodes.  The kernel is based off of Debian's 2.6.26 kernel.  FS
version is listed as 1.5.0 and the tools are 1.4.1.


1) Snapshot the volume on the SAN (EqualLogic).
2) Replay the journal
# fsck.ocfs2 -y $snapshot_dev
3) Clear the dirty bits
mount $snapshot_dev /snapshots/$snapshot_datetime 
sleep 300 # let the fs sit for a bit
umount $snapshot_dev
4) Change the fs uuid, label, and type
yes | tunefs.ocfs2 -U -M local -L $snapshot_datetime $snapshot_dev
5) On the SAN change the snapshot to readonly.

Now, if I try to mount that snapshot with "-o ro", the volume mounts,
but results in strange behavior and an angry kernel.  Some example
output is below.  

If I leave off step 5 and mount it ro, everything seems to be ok, but
I'd rather have the SAN enforce readonly access.  Is there anything to
be done about this?

Thanks,
Brian
