[Ocfs2-users] Linux RHEL 5.2 hangs for 1.5 hrs while fsck'ing the OCFS2 file system

Hi there,

No, we are using the earlier version - 1.4.1:
[root at box1]# rpm -qa |grep ocfs2-tools
ocfs2-tools-debuginfo-1.4.1-1.el5.x86_64
ocfs2-tools-1.4.1-1.el5.x86_64

Thanks

If you are using ocfs2-tools-1.4.4, there is a bug with memory usage. Sunil provided me a patched version, which is afik still not in the downloadable tools version.

Hi there,
A month ago we ran into the fsck issue while rebooting one of the Oracle RAC nodes running on Linux RHEL 5.2. It was hanging for 1.5 hours
During the reboot, OS portion went fine, then it activated the data volumes in all data vg's with [OK]
Then displayed message: Checking filesystems - and it took it 1.5 hrs, then it finished the reboot.

Last weekend we rebooted the same box and faced the same issue, however, we sent the break, commented out (last "0" in /etc/fstab did not work neither) all OCFS2 lines in /etc/fstab and it booted fine. Then we mount -a them and life was good.

Also we added later on the fastboot to the grub.conf, then booted it - no problem for obvious reasons.

If anyone experienced the same issue - would you mind to light into the tonnel and share your experience and perhaps the fix?
Thanks
