Public bug reported: Scenario: 3-node Ubuntu AoE*/OCFS2 Cluster on Ubuntu Server sharing disks with Ubuntu Desktops
Node 1: Oneiric ubuntu-server amd64 with disk shared using AoE and formatted and clustered with OCFS2. Node 2: Oneiric mint-desktop i386 Node 3: Oneiric ubuntu-desktop amd64 Background: 1. Initially implemented AOE to share disks in node 1 (SAN) formatted XFS 2. Needed to access FS on disks from more than one Ubuntu desktop client 3. Implemented OCFS2 cluster and formatted one disk (label "Backup") in node 1 with OCFS2 to test Problem: 4. Mounting the disk using Nautilus fails with the following error thrown by Nautilus: Unable to mount Backup Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: mount.ocfs2: Invalid argument while mounting /dev/etherd/e2.0p1 on /media/Backup_. Check 'dmesg' for more information on this error. dmesg includes the following: Jan 6 02:06:52 anthracite kernel: [ 8672.067816] (mount.ocfs2,27208,1):ocfs2_parse_options:1512 ERROR: Unrecognized mount option "uhelper=udisks" or missing value Jan 6 02:06:52 anthracite kernel: [ 8672.067824] (mount.ocfs2,27208,1):ocfs2_fill_super:1233 ERROR: status = -22 As I understand it the uhelper=udisks mount option relates to the disk showing up in the "Devices" section of Nautilus. Further: 5. Creating a mount point and mounting the drive using the mount command works fine and it still shows up in the "Devices" section of Nautilus: mount -L "Backup" /media/Backup/ Synposis: 6. It would thus appear that mount.ocfs2 does not support this mount option. This is understandable given that OCFS2 is used heavily in server-only environments and not in sharing for use by Linux desktop machines. 7. However, such use cases will surely increase and it should be trivial to add support for this mount option. Thanks very much. *ATA over Ethernet ** Affects: ocfs2-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to ocfs2-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/912588 Title: mount.ocfs2 doesn't accept mount option "uhelper=udisks" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ocfs2-tools/+bug/912588/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
