Hi,


i want to run ocfs2 to load a shared filesystem for 3 uml's.
ocfs2 allows 2 or more uml's to load the same filesystem so it should solve
the limitations of hostfs.

Anyway, i compiled ocfs2 support into the kernel and made a
/etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf file.

However, when i want to start the clustering service, it fails:

/etc/init.d/o2cb load
Loading module "configfs": Unable to load module "configfs"

Uhm:
grep "CONFIGFS" /boot/config-2.6.20.7.15aug2007
CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS=y

As it seems now, in order to get i working i shouldn't compile support into
the kernel?
Is there a workaround?

Regards,
Benedict

Apparantly, it's a bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=416662

When i do what's mentioned in the bug report, i can get the service to
start. When i create a filesystem (mkfs.ocfs2 -b 4K -C 128K -N 4
home_fs), i get an error:

ocfs2_hb_ctl: The block size is smaller than the sector size on this
device while reading uuid
mount.ocfs2: Error when attempting to run /sbin/ocfs2_hb_ctl: "Operation
not permitted"

Anyway, i'm getting closer

Benedict

I didn't use ocfs2 nor hostf to do what i wanted.
I moved the homedirectories to the uml and it works for me.
