Hello Sunil,

Just back of holidays, I tested the 2.6.22 with all of your patches.

No problem instead of without patches, put aside that I suspect a locking problem.

Indeed, I've a script who replace a file with an flock (LOCK_EX) on the shared volume and an other script who acces to the shared volume by NFS to copy this file to a local volume.

This file is copied each minutes and regulary I've an empty or truncated file.

Do you now a restriction about locking or something like that ?

Thanks for all.

Cyril

Sorry I don't track the debian kernel. But typically they take
the source for kernel.org and use it as is. But don't take my
word for it.

There is actualy only one node who export the ocfs2 volume via NFS under the 2.6.18-4 on etch repository. I've got no problem until I leave it alone. When I add an other node I got the error below.

So if I understand the 2.6.22 provided by Debian haven't all patches listed below and would be the cause of the truncated file of my ( a bad day to fix it ;-) ) ?

Can I apply the missing patches to the debian package or I need to use a fresh sources ?

Thanks in advance.

Are you exporting the ocfs2 volume via NFS? If so, then we did fix this issue. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/ linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=592282cf2eaa33409c6511ddd3f3ecaa57daeaaa
It should be fixed in 2.6.22.

Use 2.6.22 + patches as listed in the following link:

A response to my self ...

Thanks Sunil Mushran, I haven't see your response in the thousand of mail at my return of holidays ...

This patch seems to be in the 2.6.20.

Can this error cause my big load average ?

No other patch was included till the 2.6.22. Some one have the same problem than me with the 2.6.22 (file truncated) ?

Thanks,

Cyril

Hi all,

I've one 3.5T Xserve with one LUN shared between 7 debian nodes :

# dmesg |grep -i ocfs

OCFS2 DLMFS 1.3.3

All nodes mount the shared partition without problem, but after some minute of utilization I get these error :

...cut...

...cut...

Then all node have a huge load more than 100 with more than 50% of iowait.

I've tested the kernel 2.6.22 (don't remember the ocfs version), there are no ocfs2 error, but all opened to write file are truncated to zero size !

Have you an idea, do you know a stable version of ocfs2 build into a debian kernel ?

Thanks,

Cyril
