[Ocfs2-users] ocfs2 cluster fails every few days

[srinivas eeda]

In ovm, ocfs2 kernel module is part of the kernel rpm itself and hence 
you don't need a separate ocfs2 package for kernel module. The errors 
suggest that your cluster configuration might be a problem. The 
corruption, and "another node heartbeating in my slot" could because of 
a misconfiguration of node numbers or mismatched cluster.conf on all 
nodes. File an SR with oracle linux/ovm support to get help on this.
