Issue

  • How can I prevent my RHEL cluster service from failing during relocation if it cannot unmount a filesystem resource?
  • A service is up and running with 1 or more mounted file systems. Some user has left a session open that is cd'd into that file system structure. When I manually migrate the service it fails as the filesystem being accessed cannot unmounted.
  • clusvcadm -r <service> -m <node> failed.
  • A cluster service containing an fs resource failed while stopping or relocating:

    node1 clurgmgrd: [8584]: <err> 'umount <mount point>' failed, error=0
    

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 or 6 with the High Availability Add On
  • rgmanager
  • One or more <fs/>, <clusterfs/>, or <netfs/> resources in a service in /etc/cluster/cluster.conf
