No LVM specific errors ar reported to /var/log/messages or dmesg. Well the messages entries contain dm-6 as device which stands for DeviceMapper device 6 as far as I'm concerned.
Usage of an journaled filesystem is generally a good idea and will be done. Meanwhile we tried to write to the array with one cluster node entirely turned off. The problem remains. Also we found 3 different firmware versions on the disks in the array, which is generally bad. I had very bad experiences with different firmware revisions together in one array before, so this will be adressed to HP. As for 2.6 kernels. HP supports HA cluster configurations with this architecture with SLES 9 which is using a 2.6 kernel. HP suggestet timing problems due to SMP Kernel on a hyperthreading CPU so I will try the kernel without SMP support. -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Mohamed Badri [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 10.

Did you ask hp, if they support this controller with 2.6 kernel ? perhabs it's an issue with controller module in 2.6 kernel. Sorry but I can't help, I never see this type of architecture with ext2. In this case it is common to use gfs if the 2 hosts are active or any over journalized filesystems ( ext3, reiser ... ) But I think there is no link with filesystem as errors is sent by controller kernel module.
