While rebooting a node last night, we had a umount failure on an ocfs2 filesystem (it's the filesystem that is used by Xen, and xend frequently ends up locking the fs open in a kernel thread). We power cycled the machine, and ocfs2 mounting failed on subsequent reboot, due to another node blocking it:
Aug 1 18:16:36 vpr-app-01 kernel: (7111,0):dlm_query_join_handler:633 node 11 trying to joi n, but it still needs recovery. The annoying solution for us was to eventually reboot the node that was blocking, as well. As this has happened to us in the past, is there a utility to force the recovery needed, on either the blocking or blocked node? Or to remove the node from the recovery list? This is ocfs2 1.2.2 (patch 11) running on OpenSUSE 10.2. I would be ecstatic to move to a higher revision, unfortunately I don't know when the suse package maintainer will do so. thanks, Jeff _______________________________________________ Ocfs2-users mailing list [email protected] http://oss.oracle.com/mailman/listinfo/ocfs2-users
