Hi Experts, recently I observed a partition table crash that made me really scared. I have two OVM servers sharing OCFS2 over iscsi, after running a bunch of VMs for a while, all VMs were gone and I saw the mount points of OCFS2 gone on both hosts. Then I tried to mount it again, the iscsi device crashed by saying "please specify filesystem type". I checked dmesg but there is nothing useful except
"SCSI device sdc: drive cache: write back sdc: unknown partition table sd 2:0:0:1: Attached scsi disk sdc sd 2:0:0:1: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0 OCFS2 Node Manager 1.4.4 OCFS2 DLM 1.4.4 OCFS2 DLMFS 1.4.4 OCFS2 User DLM kernel interface loaded connection1:0: detected conn error (1011)" basically after logging into ISCSI device on both hosts, I created soft links of /dev/ovm_iscsi1 pointing to device node under /dev/disk/by-path/real_isci_device, then I formatted /dev/ovm_iscsi1 to OCFS2 and mounted them to somewhere(of course I configured /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf and made o2cb correctly start). Could somebody tell me where to get more debug info to trace the problem? This is really scared considering I may lose all my VMs because of the silent crash. And is there any way to recover the partition table? Thanks
