Hello all, I have a two node cluster with kernel-2.6.18-53.1.21.el5 and drbd8.2. The LV is formatted with GFS2. However suddenly one of the nodes keeps on reporting: Jun 23 12:56:05 tweety1 kernel: GFS2: fsid=tweety:gfs2-00.0: fatal: invalid metadata block Jun 23 12:56:05 tweety1 kernel: GFS2: fsid=tweety:gfs2-00.0: bh = 21879736 (magic number) Jun 23 12:56:05 tweety1 kernel: GFS2: fsid=tweety:gfs2-00.0: function = gfs2_meta_indirect_buffer, file = fs/gfs2/meta_io.c, line = 438 Jun 23 12:56:05 tweety1 kernel: GFS2: fsid=tweety:gfs2-00.0: about to withdraw this file system Jun 23 12:56:05 tweety1 kernel: GFS2: fsid=tweety:gfs2-00.0: telling LM to withdraw Jun 23 12:56:06 tweety1 kernel: GFS2: fsid=tweety:gfs2-00.0: withdrawn Jun 23 12:56:06 tweety1 kernel: Jun 23 12:56:06 tweety1 kernel: Call Trace: Jun 23 12:56:06 tweety1 kernel: [<ffffffff8865715e>] :gfs2:gfs2_lm_withdraw+0xc1/0xd0 Jun 23 12:56:06 tweety1 kernel: [<ffffffff80014cca>] sync_buffer+0x0/0x3f Jun 23 12:56:06 tweety1 kernel: [<ffffffff80062a3f>] out_of_line_wait_on_bit+0x6c/0x78 Jun 23 12:56:06 tweety1 kernel: [<ffffffff8009ba34>] wake_bit_function+0x0/0x23 Jun 23 12:56:06 tweety1 kernel: [<ffffffff8866895b>] :gfs2:gfs2_meta_check_ii+0x2c/0x38 Jun 23 12:56:06 tweety1 kernel: [<ffffffff8865adbb>] :gfs2:gfs2_meta_indirect_buffer+0x1e3/0x284 Jun 23 12:56:06 tweety1 kernel: [<ffffffff88655a88>] :gfs2:gfs2_inode_refresh+0x22/0x2b9 Jun 23 12:56:06 tweety1 kernel: [<ffffffff88654eff>] :gfs2:inode_go_lock+0x29/0x57 After this, the node halts. The other node works perfectly. If I boot single user the problematic node, what steps should I take to recover?? Thank you all for your time.
