Hi Listers,

I am trying to setup 2 nodes RAC (10G R2, Linux) in VMWARE (for self-educational purpose, of course).

After installing OCFS2 und mounting the "shared storage" in both nodes (Hostnames = node1 & node2) I have tried
To perform a simple test (copying and/or editing a file from node1 and read the same file on node2).

I am getting the following errors:
