I'm running a cluster on two node without GFS (only using clurgmgrd to export nfs share) on IBM x346 servers (Pentium 4 Xeon (Foster) with the smp kernel; 2.6.9-11smp) and, while i do not see those errors in my logs, i do see them in /proc/cluster/dlm_debug : Magma send einval to 1 Magma send einval to 1 Magma send einval to 1 Magma send einval to 1 Magma send einval to 1 Magma (3055) req reply einval 440255 fr 1 r 1 usrm::rg="home_ma Magma (3055) req reply einval 4b0262 fr 1 r 1 usrm::rg="home_ma Magma send einval to 1 Magma (11923) req reply einval 5300f1 fr 1 r 1 usrm::vf Magma send einval to 1 Magma (3055) req reply einval 530338 fr 1 r 1 usrm::vf My cluster is highly instable, just this morning i've realized that the clurgmgrd deamon was dead... Can someone at Red Hat shed some light on this? Thanks, Tony Lapointe.
