Bug Description

Binary package hint: ocfs2-tools

Upstart tries to mount an ocfs2 filesystem defined in fstab before /etc/init.d/o2cb has been run, the mount
therefore fails.

As a workaround I run '/etc/init.d/o2cb start' in mountall-net.conf.

This also affects hardy using the classical SysV init style

Even more severe, the o2cb is stopped before the ocfs2 filesystems are unmounted.
Other machines that use the same OCFS2 volume then will need to fence theirselfes and hence will panic or reboot, see http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/dist/documentation/v1.2/ocfs2_faq.html#QUORUM

This still seems to be a problem in Lucid. We've moved from Hardy (no problems automounting OCFS2 over iSCSI from there) but on Lucid the o2cb service has never started the cluster when the machine is booted and then as a consequence mountall-net fails to mount the drive.

ocfs2-tools probably be needed to converted to upstart.

Hi,

Has anyone made this upstart scripts available?
I'm not sure this bug should have its importance set to 'Low' : the present behaviour makes the difference between a working and a non working cluster node in case of reboot. It's not a detail.

Hi, i'd like to help to fix this problem. Right now i've stopped my openstack deployment because of this bug. I'll try to write a o2cb upstart script to boot, then i'll go for the ocfs2 script. If anyone wants to help, just let me know! Thanks

I can't believe this bug still exists in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Is OCFS2 so rarely used that this bug has no importance to the package mantainers?

Please consider raising the severity to something more than low.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. In an effort to keep an
up-to-date and valid list of bugs to work on, I have reviewed this report to
verify it still requires effort and occurs on an Ubuntu release in standard
support, and it does not.

It is unfortunate that we were unable to resolve this defect, however there
appears to be no further action possible at this time. I am therefore moving the
bug to 'Fix Released' to current development release as the issue does not apply
to it any longer.

If you disagree or have new information, we would be grateful if you could
please open a new bug mentioning new affected versions with a possible
reproducer in the bug description.
