I am running InterSystems Caché 5.0.19 for AMD64, and an strace output
from their utility reveals a problem with fcntl/flock on the GFS
filesystem (mount -t gfs /dev/VGSHARE/lvol0 /usr/local):
open("/usr/local/etc/cachesys/cache.reg", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK) = 3
fcntl(3, F_SETLKW, {type=F_RDLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0,
len=0}) = -1 ENOLCK (No locks available)
When I put their files on an ordinary ext3 filesystem, all works fine:
open("/usr/local/etc/cachesys/cache.reg", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK) = 3
fcntl(3, F_SETLKW, {type=F_RDLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0,
len=0}) = 0
The man page on fcntl states that when flock is setup with
whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, and len=0, the lock will occur on the entire
file... so locking zero bytes in this manner is acceptable. Help?
Hi Robert,
What version of the cluster software and GFS are you using?
