[Linux-cluster] GFS & journal resources ... common ratio?

2008-10-07 Thread Caron, Chris
I just have a quick question regarding the amount of storage occupied by the journals. Is there a common ratio to determine how much space will be occupied? I'm doing very rough map and experimenting with different conditions, but I can't seem to get a common mechanism for predicting the usable st

So is clvmd running fine on both nodes? If its not, your not going to be able to do anything with the shared storage. After you have verified its running, do a vgscan. If you get any errors, you have to fix those first before you can move ahead to worrying about the lv issues. I am far from a clus

Hi Mark, This is just an experimental cluster for now, not production, so 2-nodes is sufficient (as long as it doesn't significantly alter the setup, which I don;t think it does). I have two multi-pathed iSCSI targets for storage, one each on two separate boxes. I have got this going previously on

And for another follow-up in the interest of full disclosure, I don't recall the specifics, but it seems dlm_recvd was eating up all the CPU cycles on one of the machines, and others seemed to follow suit shortly thereafter. Sorry for the flood! Shawn -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@re

Problem: It seems that IO on one machine in the cluster (not always the same machine) will hang and all processes accessing clustered LVs will block. Other machines will follow suit shortly thereafter until the machine that first exhibited the problem is rebooted (via fence_drac manually). No mes

[Linux-cluster] how to configure qdisk in a two nodes cluster with mirrored LVM

2008-10-07 Thread gnia gnia
Hello all, Situation: We have a 2 nodes cluster (we don't use GFS). Only one node has an active service. The other node is only here in case the first node crashs (application automatically restarts on the healthy node). This service has a file system resource that is a mirrored LV across 2 stora

Hopefully the following provide some relieves ... 1. Enable lock trimming tunable. It is particularly relevant if NFS-GFS is used by development type of workloads (editing, compiling, build, etc) and/or after filesystem backup. Unlike fast statfs, this tunable is per-node base (you don't need
