Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> OCFS on RedHat 9
Has anyone tried running OCFS on RedHat 9? I downloaded and installed the
binary RPMS, but the OCFS kernel mod wouldn't insert into the newer kernel
because it was compiled with gcc2 and the RH9 kernel is gcc3. So, I
downloaded the source, hacked it a bit (RH9 apparently breaks lots of things
like filesystems with their "custom" kernels), and got it running on the RH9
default 2.4.20-8 kernel. lsmod even shows "Not tainted". :)
Other than OCFS seeming to be slow from the OS, the only other initial issue is that I'm not able to re-format an existing partition. Even when I unmount and format the partition, the bitmap still shows the old allocations and blocksize. I know that OCFS requires contiguous space for OS file extent creation, so this could be a showstopper.
Is this just my OCFS hack or does the version on RH AS 2.1 (which isn't usable on the new PC I've got) work the same way?
TIA,
Rich
