GFS Question

Pattabhi — Wed, 23 May 2007 06:03:07 GMT

Hi All,

I have just enabled quotas on one of my GFS file system, but when i run the
gfs_quota list -f /GCSHome connamd it gives me the output of the command and gets stuck, meaning it does not return back to the prompt. i have to press a ctrl C to get back to the prompt. and idea what might be happenng here??

Regards,

'strace' is your friend.

See what library calls get it to get hung up.

Beyond that, I'm not much help though ;)

What kernels and GFS versions are you using btw?

Sorry i forgot to mention....

I did run strace and the only thing that happens is

ioctl(3, 0x472d, 0x7fbfffe700) = 88
ioctl(3, 0x472d, 0x7fbfffe700) = 88

Shalom,

I'd suggest next making sure the latest RHCS/GFS patches are in via up2date.

rpm -qa | grep ^cman

This could be a mis-match between the kernel and the GFS suite, or it could be a bad application provided by Red Hat (heaven forfend).

I have a diagnostic question for you. Does the GFS filesystem work right at all? Can it mount? Can you read/write data to it? I think the answer is probably yes.

Is the clvmd daemon running on both all nodes?
