Re: mkfs.gfs2 issue...

Nevermind - figured it out.  Sorry to bother everyone.  I realized that I hadn't tried any other filesystem on the kernel I was running and discovered the same behavior from mkfs.ext2.  I went out and grabbed the latest version of open-iscsi and, what do you know, it works (both ext2 and gfs2).


Again, sorry for not debugging properly...

I'm currently evaluating GFS2 for some clustering that I want to do, and I've run into a little problem.  I'm using kernel 2.6.20.3 (with GFS2 included) and the GFS2 userspace stuff from the RH Cluster page (sourceware.org/cluster).  I've tried both the "official" 2.0.0 release and the latest CVS version, and both exhibit the same behavior: when I try to make a GFS2 filesystem, mkfs.gfs2 just hangs.  I'm doing this on a 1 GB iSCSI volume, and the host has already transfered 6.9GB of data.  What in the world is it doing?!  If I enable debug output, I get the following:

Command Line Arguments:
  qcsize = 1
  jsize = 32
  journals = 2
  override = 0
  proto = lock_dlm
  quiet = 0
  rgsize = optimize for best performance
  table = fstest:testfs
  utsize = 1
  device = /dev/sdb1
This will destroy any data on /dev/sdb1.
  It appears to contain a ext3 filesystem.

...and that's where it stops.  To set things up, I compiled the sources, then did the following (as per the usage instructions):
1) Wrote configuration file - very simple, two host configuration.
1) Load modules gfs2, dlm, lock_dlm, and no_lock
2) Mount configfs in /sys/kernel/config
3) ccsd
4) cman_tool join
5) groupd
6) fenced
7) fence_tool join
8) dlm_controld
9) gfs_controld
10) I don't have clvmd, so I didn't start that, but the usage.txt file says it's optional.
11) mkfs.gfs2 -D -p lock_dlm -t fstest:testfs -j 2 /dev/sdb1

and it just hangs.  There are no funny messages in either dmesg or /var/log/messages - just normal cluster operation (nodes being added when I start up things on both systems, etc.  Can anyone shed any light on what might be happening here - why it's hanging up and transmitting so much data on formatting such a small volume?

Thanks,
Nick

Bob,
Thanks for the quick follow-up.  I gave this a shot, but here's the problem: the program seems to be hung on I/O, so it doesn't respond to any signals.  When I try to run gdb against the currently running PID, gdb hangs after the following line:
Attaching to program: mkfs.gfs2, process 3349

and does nothing (sometimes it doesn't even get that far).  I can't use <Ctrl-C> to kill the mkfs process, nor does it respond to a kill with a signal 9.  Also, during this mkfs.gfs2 process, the processor is being used quite heavily (80-100%) by the kernel [scsi_wq_1].  This tends to hang up things like login shells pretty badly, and the only way to get it back is to reboot the machine (in case it matters, this is inside a VMware virtual machine).  I'm going to give a couple of other things a try (like changing the elevator so that it's nicer to other processes, hopefully) and see if I can get gdb to work, but so far no such luck.

Thanks!
Nick
