Hello again,

 

Becoming queries why only once service fails, I tried to encircle the root
cause.

 

I ended up that files in only one directory (were the failing service keeps
its files), are corrupted.

 

Trying to ls -l in the directory gives the following output:

 

ls: reading directory .: Input/output error

total 192

At the same moment the kernel reports what is following below (attached the
previous e-mail).

 

Trying to rm -rf the directory fails with the same kernel message.

 

Any ideas on how to erase the problematic directory?

 

 

Also the other node (the one on which I do not try to make any actions on
the file system in question, gives the following message:

 

 

GFS2: fsid=tweety:gfs2-00.0: jid=1: Trying to acquire journal lock...

GFS2: fsid=tweety:gfs2-00.0: jid=1: Busy

 

And the file system becomes inaccessible forever. Any one knows why is that?

 

Thank you all for your time

Hello all,

 

I have a two node cluster with DRBD running in Primary/Primary.

Both nodes are running:

 

·         Kernel 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5.centos.plus

·         GFS2 fsck 0.1.44

·         cman_tool 2.0.84

·         Cluster LVM daemon version: 2.02.32-RHEL5 (2008-03-04)

Protocol version:           0.2.1

·         DRBD Version: 8.2.6 (api:88)

 

 

After a corruption (which was the result of combining updating and rebooting
with the FS mounted, network interruption during the reboot and like issues,
I keep on getting the following on one node:

After that, the machine freezes completely. The only way to recover is to
power-cycle / reset.

 

"gfs2-fsck -vy /dev/mapper/vg0-data0" ends (not terminates, it just look
like it finishes) with: 

 

Pass5 complete

Writing changes to disk

gfs2_fsck: buffer still held for block: 21875415 (0x14dcad7)

 

After remounting the file system and having a service start (that has its
files on this gfs2 filesystem), the kernel again crasses with the same
message and the node freezes up.

 

Unfortunately due to bad handling, I failed to DRBD invalidate the
problematic node, and instead of making it sync target (which theoretically
would solve the problem, since the good node, would sync the bad node).

Instead I made the bad node, sync source and now both nodes have the same
issue L

 

 

Any ideas of how can I resolve this issue?

 

Sincerely,

 

Theophanis Kontogiannis
