You are indeed correct. Removing "/lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.6.el5xen/ extra/ocfs2/" on all cluster members. Will report back with results.

Thanks!

Appears the self-built ocfs2 modules are still in play.

Do:
$ find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name \*ocfs\* -exec echo -n "{} " \; -exec rpm -qf {} \;
This will show all the ocfs2 modules and whether the owning package.

Here's my repeatable oops on Centos 5.1 Xen dom0, 2.6.18-53.1.6.el5xen x86_64, using OSS packages 'ocfs2-2.6.18-53.1.6.el5xen-1.2.8-2.el5'.

Setup netconsole on the cluster members (domU?) to get a stack trace.

Thanks again for your prompt assistance earlier today - we seem to have gotten past the fs/inode.c bug at domU by using the OSS packaged ocfs2 kernel modules. The cluster comes up and mounts on all boxes, and appears to work.

However, we have now run into a more prevalent issue - at dom0, any of the cluster member servers will spontaneously reboot when I start an 'iozone -A' in an ocfs2 filesystem. I am unable to check the kernel panic message as the box reboots immediately, despite the setting of 'kernel.panic=0' in sysctl (which is supposed to mean 'do not reboot on panic'). There are also no entries in messages when this happens.

I realize there's not much debugging you can do without the panic message, but I'm wondering if perhaps this new version has some bug which was not in 1.2.7 (with our self-built 1.2.7 only domU servers rebooted - dom0 were stable).

Are others running this new version with success? Under RHEL/ Centos 5.1 Xen dom0/domU?

Is the ip address correct? If not, correct.

# netstat -tan
See if that port is already in use. If  so, use another.

Alok Dhir wrote:
Ah - thanks for the clarification.

I'm left with one perplexing problem - on one of the hosts, 'devxen0', o2cb refuses to start. The box is identically configured to at least 2 other cluster hosts and all were imaged the exact same way, except that devxen0 has 32GB RAM where the others have 16 or less.

Any clues where to look?

Yes, but backported and released as ocfs2 1.4 which is yet to be released.
You are on ocfs2 1.2.

We were indeed using a self-built module due to the lack of an OSS one for the latest kernel. Thanks for your response, I will test with the new version.

What are we leaving on the table by not using the latest mainline kernel?

Are you building ocfs2 with this kernel or are using the ones we
provide for RHEL5?

I am assuming you have built it yourself as we did not release packages for the latest 2.6.18-53.1.6 kernel till last night.

If you are using your own, then use the one from oss.

If you are using the one from oss, then file a bugzilla with the
full oops trace.

Thanks

Hello all - we're evaluating OCFS2 in our development environment to see if it meets our needs.

We're testing it with an iSCSI storage array (Dell MD3000i) and 5 servers running Centos 5.1 (2.6.18-53.1.6.el5xen).

1) Each of the 5 servers is running the Centos 5.1 open- iscsi initiator, and sees the volumes exposed by the array just fine. So far so good.

2) Created a volume group using the exposed iscsi volumes and created a few LVM2 logical volumes.

3) vgscan; vgchange -a y; on all the cluster members. all see the "md3000vg" volume group. looking good. (we have no intention of changing the LVM2 configurations much if at all, and can make sure all such changes are done when the volumes are off-line on all cluster members, so theoretically this should not be a problem).

4) mkfs.ocfs2 /dev/md3000vg/testvol0 -- works great

5) mount on all Xen dom0 boxes in the cluster, works great.

6) create a VM on one of the cluster members, set up iscsi, vgscan, md3000vg shows up -- looking good.

7) install ocfs2, 'service o2cb enable', starts up fine. mount /dev/md3000vg/testvol0, works fine.

** Thanks for making it this far -- this is where is gets interesting

8) run 'iozone' in domU against ocfs2 share - BANG - immediate kernel panic, repeatable all day long.

"kernel BUG at fs/inode.c"

So my questions:

1) should this work?

2) if not, what should we do differently?

3) currently we're tracking the latest RHEL/Centos 5.1 kernels -- would we have better luck using the latest mainline kernel?

Thanks for any assistance.
