Re: [Xen-users] nothing but problems with ocfs2 on sles11

[James Pifer <jep@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wanted to give an update on this. It turns out I had one VM that was
really causing the problem. Whenever I tired to start it, ocfs2 would
decide there's a problem with it and and make the whole volume read
only. This would essentially hose both servers. 

I copied that single VM to a local disk and I was able to start it up.
It's a sles guest and sles determined there was a problem and ran fsck.
Thankfully it ran the check and finished booting. 

Novell wants me to make a full backup of everything, remove and recreate
the ocfs2 volume, then restore everything. They feel it's a problem with
the disk. The disk is coming from a Xiotech SAN, which reports no disk
problems. I'm not a disk or storage expert so I'm not sure where the
real problem really is. 

Considering the problems I've had on both sets of servers using ocfs2,
I'm going to use local disks on each server for a while and split up the
load. I lose all my portability, but right now I need stability. 

If anyone has any suggestions I'm all eyes/ears. 

Thanks,
James
