A and B are identical machines. Network has lots of redundancy. They both access same OCFS2 volumes over Fiber Channel on a SAN.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga) 2.6.18-128.el5 x86_64 OCFS2 1.2.9 I log in to the switch and isolate node A from the network (shutdown all ports to node A on the switch), but the node remains connected to SAN over fiber. In that case, node B will reset itself and then boot up. While booting up, node B will not remount the OCFS2 volumes on the SAN. If I try to mount them manually on B, mount fails. All this time, the OCFS2 volumes are still mounted on node A - I can access them if I go on A through the console and do some filesystem tests (df, mount, touch, rm ... ). I can only remount the OCFS2 volumes on node B after I bring node A back online on the Ethernet switch. I assume this is actually normal behavior.
