WHAT IS OCFS2?
OCFS2 is a POSIX-compliant shared-disk cluster file system for Linux capable of providing both high performance and high availability.
As it provides local file system semantics, it can be used with any application. Cluster-aware applications can make use of parallel I/O for higher performance. Applications, not able to benefit from parallel I/O, can take advantage of the file system to provide a fail-over setup to increase its availability.
Apart from being used with Oracle's Real Application Cluster database product, OCFS2 is currently in use to provide scalable web-servers and file-servers as well as fail-over mail-servers and for hosting virtual machine images.
Some of the notable features of the file system are:
- Variable Block sizes
- Flexible Allocations (extents, sparse, unwritten extents with the ability to punch holes)
- Journaling (ordered and writeback data journaling modes)
- Endian and Architecture Neutral (x86, x86_64, ia64 and ppc64)
- In-built Clusterstack with a Distributed Lock Manager
- Support for Buffered, Direct, Asynchronous, Splice and Memory Mapped I/Os
- Cluster-aware Tools (mkfs, fsck, tunefs, etc.)
WHAT'S NEW?
OCFS2 1.4 for EL5 U2+ and SLES10 SP2 has been released.
With this release, there are now two supported releases of the file system, namely, OCFS2 1.2 and OCFS2 1.4.
For Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, OCFS2 1.2 is bundled with SLES9 SP4 and SLES10 SP1, whereas OCFS2 1.4 is bundled with SLES10 SP2.
For Red Hat's and Oracle's Enterprise Linux, OCFS2 1.2 is available for all kernels starting EL4 U4 and ending EL5 U3 (including). OCFS2 1.4 is available for all kernels starting EL5 U2. OCFS2 1.4 will continue to be provided for newer EL5 kernels.
For Oracle's Unbreakable Linux Network subscribers, OCFS2 1.2 will continue to be the default install. Users wanting to upgrade to OCFS2 1.4 release will need to subscribe to the OCFS2 1.4 packages for Enterprise Linux 5 channel.
OCFS2 1.4 is on-disk compatible with the OCFS2 1.2. The new release can mount volumes formatted and used with the older release, as is. However, as the network protocol is not compatible, concurrent mounts from two nodes running the two different releases is not possible.
To learn more about compatibilities and new features, please refer to OCFS2 1.4 User's Guide.
GETTING STARTED
OCFS2 1.2 users can learn about configuring the file system in OCFS2 1.2 User's Guide. Answers to the commonly asked questions are available in the OCFS2 1.2 FAQ.
OCFS2 1.4 users can learn about the new features, compatibilities, install, configuration and other information in the OCFS2 1.4 User's Guide.
For information regarding migrating data from OCFS to OCFS2, please refer to the OCFS to OCFS2 Migrate Guide. Please note that OCFS refers to the file system that worked on the 2.4 Linux Kernel. Users looking to upgrade from OCFS2 1.2 to OCFS2 1.4 do not have to migrate the data.

REPORTING BUGS
Use the to file bugs.
Try to be as verbose as possible in the bug reports.
TOP REPORTED ISSUES
Q. If one uses a private ip address, what node name must one specify in cluster.conf?
A. The node name must always be the hostname irrespective of the ip address used. For more, refer to the
Configure
section in the FAQ.
Q. What should one set O2CB_HEARTBEAT_THRESHOLD to?
A. O2CB_HEARTBEAT_THRESHOLD should be set depending upon the default io timeout for the io layer.
For multipath users, set it to a number ranging from 31 to 61. For more, refer to the
Heartbeat
and Timeouts
sections in the FAQ.
Q. How can one avoid a node from panic-ing when one shutdowns the other node in a 2-node cluster?
A. Ensure the ocfs2 init script is enabled. This script. ensures that the OCFS2
volumes are umounted before the network is shutdown. For more, refer to the
Quorum and Fencing
section in the FAQ.
Q. Why does CRS not startup when the Voting diskfile and/or the OCR file are on a OCFS2 volume?
A. OCFS2 volumes containing the Voting diskfile (CRS), Cluster registry (OCR),
Data files, Redo logs, Archive logs and Control files must be mounted with the
datavolume,nointr,noatime mount options. For more, refer to the
Oracle RAC
section in the FAQ.
