Hi,
i moved my vservers to UML but in the process, i ran into a problem. I need to access the /home partition from several uml's. I first thought of using hostfs and leaving /home on the host machine. This for instance resulted in saving emails from a user with root rights. Anyway, to solve this, i thought of making file to share between the umls and putting all data from /home in there. I found out about ocfs2 and it seems this would allow just that. I've set up etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf/, with the host and 2 guests as node. The host too because i want /home to be in the file (home_fs) and not anywhere else. I'm however not sure this is the correct way to proceed and how and what components i need from ocfs2. I installed the tools and as i said, i made the cluster.conf file, copied it to the 2 uml's. The ocfs2 services are started but when i want to mount it (to first copy /home over), i get this error: # mount -t ocfs2 /storage1/vm/home_fs /mnt/debinst ocfs2_hb_ctl: The block size is smaller than the sector size on this device while reading uuid mount.ocfs2: Error when attempting to run /sbin/ocfs2_hb_ctl: "Operation not permitted" I formated the file like this: mkfs.ocfs2 -b 4k -C 32K -L "ocs" -N 4 home_fs I know that afterwards i need to specify it at start up with an added c: ... ubd2c=home_fs ... What am i missing ? Is there any specific documentation to getting this to work with UML or another way i can share parts between UML's?
