Ahhhh....you're using Wim Coekaerts' Firewire mod. I wonder if that's what's giving you grief and not OCFS? Please?

We should be able to test RAC with a dual-ended SCSI or SAN. <pray>Hopefully we won't have those problems!</pray>

Keep us informed of your progress! GL!

OCFS I'm afraid. The RHAS install goes quickly and without incident. The problem I have is that having installed the firewire kernel and the OCFS tools, my disk (which I can happily format as ext2) refuses to be formatted as an OCFS filesystem.
The format command completes immediately with no errors but does nothing. Pretty annoying stuff.

Mind you, I spent most of last week trying to get this to work with Suse 8.0. It would have worked (as would RHAS2.1) if I used raw devices instead of OCFS but that would feel like a job half done.

I'll get there in the end but any pointers from folks who've got this working would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Mike
