I use the same kernel image. It is OK by now and I think a program can be
executed twice in Linux, isn't it? ;)
I'm sorry, I was confused.. Yes, that's right. Actually you are running the
same process for two different filesystem.
I can mount the ocfs2_fs on node1, but when I mount it on node2, the error

Do I really need this? ocfs2_fs is just a normal file like the "root_fs"
and OCFS2 is already a cluster file system.
Ah, OK, I'm not really expert in HPC clustering because my "research team"
is composed by many people, one for virtualization and terminal servers
(like me), one for HPC clustering and others for something else....
Anyway, I thought it would be useful to set up a real HPC system like
OpenMosix on a UML kernel but maybe your choice is better.
I strongly suggest you to subscribe to this mailing list, in order to get
further advices to do what you exactly need. Jeff Dike and Paolo Giarrusso
and Chris Marshall are expert more than me on other problems. Let them read
your posts.

To be frank, I am trying to setup the OCFS2 environment on UML and I am
not sure whether samba or nfs can keep the DLM and other things perfect in a
cluster. I have found that Jeff has also written a document about how to
setup an OCFS2 cluster using UML.
http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2006/05/book-review-user-mode-linux.html
The 12th chapter is a rather specialized topic and is aptly titled
"Specialized UML configurations". Here one gets to know how UML could be
used to explore the software limitations on ones machine like the hard
limits in the Linux networking subsystem, the performance of large memory
UML instances on ones machine as well as setting up a small UML cluster
using Oracle's ocfs2.
So are there anyone in this list have read that chapter and kindly
generalize the normal setup steps for me? Thanks.
Obviously Jeff!!!!
He often posts messages in this list.
Subscribe you too!!!
They also recently solved the Spam problem delivered through this list! Now
it's perfect, and I don't receive spam.

I have already subscribed to this list now since I decided to know more
about UML. :)
Ah, OK!!!! So, don't care of my previous suggestions!
