If so, the corrupted fs was probably not the cause of an initial problem which made me run fsck. I had all nfsd daemons in D state waiting for disk on both servers, those daemons were not even killable with "kill -9". At reboot one of the file systems refused to unmount so I had to do a hard reset with the power switch. Some hour later the problem came back and I then started up only one node to run fsck. Since that fsck the problem hasn't come back and I thought or maybe rather hoped that the problem could be explained by a corrupted fs. Now it seems more likely that my initial problem was caused by broken hardware or maybe related to the READDIRPLUS problem described at http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00016.html I don't have any FreeBSD clients, only Linux and Solaris Clients, but from the description of the READDIRPLUS problem it seems as it can occur also with other clients than FreeBSD. The 2-node cluster is running Slackware 12.0 with a slightly patched 2.6.21.5 kernel, the ocfs2 version is the one included in the kernel, but if I remember right one of the patches applied is related to ocfs2. The NFS clients are running Slackware 8, Slackware 9.1, Slackware 12.0, Slamd64 12.0, Solaris 2.6 (sparc) and Solaris 8 (sparc). There are probably also some more Solaris clients and maybe also some RedHat clients. > Remember, ocfs2 is a journaled fs. So there is no need to run fsck Thanks, yes I was a little surprised to find those corrupted file systems. Maybe my raid disk is behaving oddly when losing power. regards Henrik -- NOTE: Dear Outlook users: Please remove me from your address books.
