It depends where the media error occurs. If it is in the 1MB heartbeat file,
it will fence.

Did you get read error (media sense or something like that) messages in
the kernel log (dmesg) while using the debug tool. Ocfs2 should really
not kill the cluster in that case.

afterforced reboot

i guess i found the solution. while dumping some files with debugfs, it
suddenly stopped working and could not be killed. and guess what, media
error on the drive :-/. funny that a filesystem check succeeds.

anyway thx a lot to those who responded.

Not sure why a power outage should cause this.

Do you have the full stack of the oops? It will show the times taken in the last 24 operations in the hb thread. That should tell us as to what is up.

i just discovered the ls, cd, dump and rdump commands in
debugfs.ocfs2.
they work fine :-). neverless i would really like to know why mounting and accessing the volume is not possible anymore.

but thanks for the hint pieter

Hi Holger

Maybe you should try the fscat tools
(http://oss.oracle.com/projects/fscat/) - which has a fsls (to list) and fscp (to copy) directly from the device.

I have not tried it yet, so good luck!

side note: setting HEARBEAT_THRESHOLD to 30 did not help either.

could it be that the syncronization between the daemons does not
work?
(e.g daemons think fs is mounted on some nodes and try to synchonize but actually the fs isn't mounted on any node?)

i'm rather clueless now. finding a way to access the data and copy it to the non shared partitions would help me a lot.

thx

hello,

i'm running ocfs2 to provide a shared disk thoughout a xen

this setup was working fine until today where there was an power
outage
and all xen nodes where forcefully shut down. whenever i try to mount/access the ocfs2 partition the system panics and reboots:

i already tried the elevator=deadline scheduler option with no
effect.
any further help debugging this issue is greatly appreciated. are ther any other possibilities to get access to the data from outside the cluster (obviously while the partition isn't mounted)
?
thanks for your help
