Description stanojr 2007-08-22 00:46:51 UTC 
Description of problem:
mkqdisk cannot use device with 4kb sector size(probably only 512b sector size is ok)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cluster-1.04.00.tar.gz

How reproducible:
# mkqdisk -c /dev/vg0/qdisk0 -l qdisk0
mkqdisk v0.5.1
Writing new quorum disk label 'qdisk0' to /dev/vg0/qdisk0.
WARNING: About to destroy all data on /dev/vg0/qdisk0; proceed [N/y] ? y
diskRawWriteShadow: Invalid argument
diskRawWriteShadow: aligned write returned -1, not 512

This isn't hard to fix.  I need to change the write sizes to 4kb and such, though.
Comment 3 Lon Hohberger 2007-09-04 19:13:32 UTC 
qdisk is missing the ability to grab sector sizes from block devices.
Comment 4 Lon Hohberger 2007-09-06 15:12:13 UTC 
Also, I think using raw devices, you can end up with 512 byte sector sizes.  For
example:


Can you run this program and send me the output?

comple = gcc -o itest itest.c -Wall -Werror
run    = ./itest <device>

The MD5 sum for the program source code as attached is:

45fa2b62345f6e0f6c3a06e21602a43d

After that's done, you can also try the following to make qdisk work now:

(a) Set up a raw device to map to your device. For example:
   
    raw /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/vg0/qdisk0

... and try to run qdiskd using /dev/raw/raw1

(b) You can also just use raw shared SCSI disks instead of LVM maps (which is
recommended due to chicken-and-egg problems with Clustered LVM and qdisk)
