Is scalix supposed to work with the message store on a GFS filesystem?
I've been testing scalix in a clustered environment and whenever I place the message store in a GFS volume, mailbox errors occur and services fail to start.
My setup is:
- 2 node RHEL5 cluster
- using redhat cluster suite
- shared storage via iSCSI
- 2 LUNs: one ext3 and the other GFS
- Scalix community edition 11.1
this test platform is running solely on virtual machines.
Here's what I tested:
1 - install Scalix on ext3 LUN, works.
2 - copy / untar Scalix mailstore from ext3 to GFS filesystem and change mountpoint /var/opt/scalix. scalix does not work.
3 - fresh install scalix on GFS volume, installer stops with error after "creating scalix mailstore" step.
4 - with the setup in case "2", tried sxmboxexp -u sxadmin, I get errors stating that the user's mailbox directory does not exist.
All of the errors show some variation of the message "[SYS 2] File error 2 on ...".
Excerpt from installer log from case "3":
