SLES 9 SP4 and OCFS2

Hi everyone,

I read Arun's cool guide "Creating shared storage on SLES 10 using Xen
and OCFS2". This was a good inspiration for me ;-)

I have 3 machines running SLES 9 SP 4. Two of them are connected to a FC
RAID (Sun 3510), the 3rd will be connected soon. Since the machines are
running SAP, I want to use OCFS2 for the common directory /usr/sap/trans.

I used Arun's guide and proceeded like he wrote from point 6 on (I don't
have Xen). Everything went well, the config was propagated, 2 machines
can mount the same filesystem in rw mode without scrambling it.

But: when I create a file, eg. /usr/sap/trans/mytest, this file is not
shown on the other machine. Both nodes show active heartbeat. Is this
expected behaviour? (not for me, though ;-))

After unmount und remountig the fs again, the file is shown.

Upgrading to SLES 10 SP 1 is not an option yet. What else do I have to
do, that a file created on one node is accessible on another without
having to unmount and mount again? BTW, mount -o remount does not work.

Regards,
Werner
