That was the case when OCFS2 did not support custom network timeouts.
The default timeouts were too low to support bonding.
1.2.5-1 and later supports custom timeouts.
With the upcoming 1.2.7-1, the default timeouts will be updated to
the new values. Refer FAQ for the details.

You have Oracle people telling us not to use bonding.

How is this a fs problem?

We don't and when we were investigating why we had on the ProCurve
4108gl reassembly problems, we were specific asked if we are doing
bonding or VLAN tagging (neither we were doing). Just looks like the
ProCurve are loosing packets without telling so. We switched in
Cisco
2960G-48 with Jumbo Frames now and haven't had any reassembly
timeouts
since then. Global Cache timeout has gone down significant. Each
Interconnect for Oracle 10G has its own Cisco 2960G-48 now.

Use network bonding.

I explained you:
1 - single heartbeat interface IS A BUG for me.
I haven't really followed the whole discussion but that point
above
did
just come to my mind a few days ago when we replaced our HP
ProCurve
4108gl used for 3 separate Interconnects on 10g, where only 1 also
carries the OCFS2 heartbeat. So if that switch dies, OCFS2 will go
down
while Oracle 10g could survive (if OCFS2 wouldn't die).
I have to agree that is a bad design at this point. Heartbeat
should
also be on at least 2 links for OCFS2.
Ulf.
