Ocfs2 du/df

Hi
I have the following configuration: linux SLES 10 SP2, ocfs2 , RAC (oracle 10.2.0.4) si SAP ERP 6.0.
Database is in the "archivelog" mod and archivelogs are generate in a ocfs2 mount point type .
We set a retention of 14 days to archivelogs and their deletion is done with a rman script.
Deleting files from OS level is done without problems, but I guess after removing their, space busy these files are not deallocate.
because i notici a difference between du and df report.
Daily watching this difference between the 2 Linux tools , see that every day lost a number of GB approximately equal to the space occupied by the archives or deleted the same day.
Occasionally when we are approaching the file system ful, shutdown db , unmount for the mountpoint and after a check of ocfs on that mountpoint , df and du show the same (I guess I win the space that was not deallocate)
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Thanks

Known issue in ocfs2 shipped with the early sles10 sp2 kernels. It has been fixed. Ping Novell for the latest kernel.

11.2.0.3 grid installation fails while selecting OCFS2 for ocr files

We are installing 11GR2 (11.2.0.3) cluster on a 64 bit system. we have OCFS2 filesystem for shared devices. version 1.6.3.
While selecting ocr file locations , we get the following error
[INS-41321] Invalid oracle cluster register [OCR] Location
Cause- The installer detects that the storage type of location is not supported for Oracle Cluster registery
Action - Provide a supported storage location for the Oracle Cluster Registry
Additional information
/crp2db01/OCR/ocr_1 is not shared
However , this mountpoint is shared across both the nodes.
Note: 11201 grid installation was successful and it accepted the above locations for OCR. however ,we need 11.2.0.3 cluster for 11.2.0.3 database

As for your current problem, just because Oracle "allows" OCFS2 in a GRID environment, I would never suggest nor implement that. It adds a layer of complexity that is totally unnecessary when a GRID/ASM implementation performs circles around OCFS2. ASM is much easier to manage, maintain, expand and shrink than OCFS2. Especially at version 11.2.0.3. When working at a large telco a few years ago, we had a 300TB+ ASM environment. OCFS2 could not even begin to be that big. ASM will provide you a MUCH more stable environment than OCFS2. And with ASM there is a lot of "magic" that happens with OCR/Voting that makes your life MUCH easier. If you "require" shared application files, then use ASM/ACFS. It is a much better "volume manager" than OCFS2.
Since you must present devices to the system for OCFS2, you should not have any problems doing the same for ASM. (and don't use ASMLib as it is going away and is not necessary - just make sure you use a partition that skips the first 1M (usually cylinder 1) and you should be good to go!)
I also would not use a "shared ORACLE_HOME" on either ACFS or OCFS2. The biggest reason is that you lose the ability to do a "rolling" upgrade and when you have a VLC, that becomes much more important that saving a few GB worth of storage.
I would also pay attention to this:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e22489/storage.htm#CDEDAHGB
3.1.4.2 General Storage Considerations for Oracle RAC
Use the following guidelines when choosing the storage options to use for each file type:
You can choose any combination of the supported storage options for each file type provided that you satisfy all requirements listed for the chosen storage options.
If you plan to install an Oracle RAC home on a shared OCFS2 location, then you must upgrade OCFS2 to at least version 1.4.1, which supports shared writable mmaps.
Oracle recommends that you choose Oracle ASM as the storage option for database and recovery files.
For Standard Edition Oracle RAC installations, Oracle ASM is the only supported storage option for database or recovery files.

OCFS2 Free space issue

Hello,
I have an Oracle 11gR2 RAC on two Oracle Linux 5 nodes. For storage I use a couple of OCFS2 partitions.
I have deleted a database using dbca and also have deleted the remaining files from shared partitions. When I consulted the free space with df I was surprised to see that the partitions appear to have a lot of used space even that there are no files on them. I've seen a similar behavior on a gpfs partition on AIX. Even that the database was closed and deleted (and lsof doesn't return anything), and I don't see how some files could be still opened, I rebooted both nodes (complete shutdown and start after both were down).
Now I see this:
[root@node1 bin]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdf1 4.0G 283M 3.7G 8% /d01
/dev/sde1 2.0G 283M 1.7G 15% /d02
/dev/sdj1 1.0G 91M 934M 9% /d03
[root@node1 bin]# cd /d01
[root@node1 d01]# ls -a
[root@node1 d01]#
How is it possible to have used space on those partitions even if they are empty?
How can I do some space management on OCFS2 partitions?
[root@node1 d01]# modinfo ocfs2

Oracle 10gR2 RAC / Dataguard on Linux Redhat 4.2 X86_64 and ASM / OCFS2

Hi All,
Well don't know if this is bleeding edge or not, but wanted to know if anybody has a system running the following setup and if there are any issues like some components are not certified on 64 bit (e.g is OCFS2)
We are in process of building a system with
Oracle RAC on 10gR2 on a 64 bit Linux OS 4.2 (2.6.9-22.ELsmp)
The system has a EMC CX500 and we are going to use ASM for the datafiles and OCFS2 for the Voting Disk and OCR.
We are also going to have a single (no RAC) Physical Dataguard instance at another site also using ASM.
We have seen that the OEM Grid Controller and agents are not supplied on x86_64
so we can't use it in a 64bit environment. (are we correct)
Anybody with suggested alternatives with the kit we have or a strong suggestion that 32 bit for RAC and Dataguard are best
Thanks in advance
John

I have a similar configuration, 3 nodes of SunFire X4100 (dual opteron), on RedHat 4 ES Update 2 using Dell/EMC CX300.
I am using OCFS2 for data and voting disks.
We had a couple of freeze-up (total node lockup) and I could not figure out what was wrong (this happens randomly).
Anybody have any idea where should I look for possible reasons?

Format Error : mkfs.ocfs2 1.2.7 file system too small for a journal

Hi All,
I am trying to implement Oracle 10g RAC on my laptop using vmware and openfiler software . But while executing the command
#mkfs.ocfs2 -b 4K -C 32K -N 4 -L oracrsfiles /dev/iscsi/crs11/part1
I am getting the error
Format Error : mkfs.ocfs2 1.2.7 file system too small for a journal
Please anybody can help me to resolve this problem.
Thanks in Advance.

How large is the device that you are formatting?
The default journal size depends on the type specified. If none specified,
then it assumes "mail" which sets the default journal per slot to 256M.
If database type, default is 64M.
Use "-T database" to specify database type, etc.
BTW, one can always override the defaults. Say "-J size=16M" to make
a smaller journal.
man mkfs.ocfs2 and the user's guide has more.

Ocfs2 mount problem due to datavolume option.

hi,
i am trying to install oracle rac on fedora core 6 through iscsi.
when i try to mount,
mount.ocfs2: Invalid argument while mounting /dev/mapper/rac-crs on /mnt/crs. Check 'dmesg' for more information on this error.
error log in dmesg,
ocfs2: Unmounting device (253,11) on (node 255)
(27354,0):ocfs2_parse_options:753 ERROR: Unrecognized mount option "datavolume" or missing value
version of ocfs2:
[root@server ~]# rpm -qa | grep ocfs
ocfs2console-1.2.2-1
ocfs2-tools-devel-1.2.2-1
ocfs2-2.6.9-42.EL-1.2.4-2
ocfs2-tools-1.2.2-1
i googled and found this datavolume option was taken from 1.2 but also it is quite needed for voting disk.I saw the dates of threads discussing this problem and it is almost 7 to 8 months back.
how to make it work? is any new version available now? or how to fix it?
thanks for any response.
regards,
Nirmal Tom.V

Hi,
What parameter you use to mount ocfs2 filesystem??, they must be
/dev/sdb1 /u02 ocfs2 _netdev,datavolume,nointr 0 0

OCFS2 problem with Redhat Linux Update 1

Hi all,
I get the following error when I tried to mount the ocfs2 partition:
===============
[root@linux1 log]# mount -t ocfs2 -o datavolume /dev/sda1 /u02/oradata/orcl
mount.ocfs2: No such device while mounting /dev/sda1 on /u02/oradata/orcl

=======================
I don't think i have the right ocfs2 kernel for my verion of Linux. I can't seem to find ocfs2 for 2.6.9-11 in http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/files/
Questions:
1) Do I need to update my Linux?
2) Where can I find ocfs2 for 2.6.9-11?
Thanks,

Does not mean that Apple's proprietary EFI is what RHEL expects to see. I run UEFI on PC and Windows 8. Won't work on Mac Pro.
you need to pull other drives out during install.
You don't 'use Boot Camp for Linux or non-Windows.
I''d pick up one of the newer WD 10K VRs while at it - 250GB $152 200MB/s
People have run Windows Server 2008 and run VMs under it, or run multiple VMs on Mac Pro and been happy -
But start wtih a hard drive for RH and format it from the installer, and pull everything else.

OVM and OCFS2 1.6

Ok this question may be a little complicated so I'll start by explaining what I'm trying to achive.
I have 3 OVM 2.2.1 servers in 1 Server pool running OCFS2 on an EMC SAN.
I also ave an Oracle Enterprise Linux server which connects to the same ocfs2 cluster for performing backups of the VMs.
Currently I have to pause all VMS and backup the shared storage in order to backup all of my VMs.
I would like to use reflink so I can do this without pausing them.
Can I achieve this by
1 upgrading all OVM servers and my OEL Server to OCFS2 1.6 or is the Kernel upgrade not supported in OVM 2.2.1
or
2 Upgrading my OEL server to OCFS2 1.6 and doing the reflinks there, but leave the OVM machines on 1.4 as the doco states the 1.4 and 1.6 are compatible with one another.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
unfortunately OCFS2 1.6 is not yet supported on OVM 2.2.1.
I am waiting all day that Oracle will finally release OVM 3.0, which will incorporate the new OCFS2 1.6 with all it functions.
This would also resolv your problem then...
Regarding your second option, I don't know if this will work. But it seems the only solution you have right now...
