1What: /sys/o2cb symlink
2Date: Dec 2005
3KernelVersion: 2.6.16
4Contact: ocfs2-devel@oss.oracle.com
5Description: This is a symlink: /sys/o2cb to /sys/fs/o2cb. The symlink will
6 be removed when new versions of ocfs2-tools which know to look
7 in /sys/fs/o2cb are sufficiently prevalent. Don't code new
8 software to look here, it should try /sys/fs/o2cb instead.
9 See Documentation/ABI/stable/o2cb for more information on usage.
10Users: ocfs2-tools. It's sufficient to mail proposed changes to
11 ocfs2-devel@oss.oracle.com.

5Description: Ocfs2-tools looks at 'interface-revision' for versioning
6 information. Each logmask/ file controls a set of debug prints
7 and can be written into with the strings "allow", "deny", or
8 "off". Reading the file returns the current state.

1What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../vpd
2Date: February 2008
3Contact: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>
4Description:
5 A file named vpd in a device directory will be a
6 binary file containing the Vital Product Data for the
7 device. It should follow the VPD format defined in
8 PCI Specification 2.1 or 2.2, but users should consider
9 that some devices may have malformatted data. If the
10 underlying VPD has a writable section then the
11 corresponding section of this file will be writable.

13 Usually this contains the target's IP address, boot LUN,
14 target name, and what NIC it is associated with. It can also
15 contain the CHAP name (and password), the reverse CHAP
16 name (and password)

1What: /sys/fs/ocfs2/
2Date: April 2008

4Description:
5 The /sys/fs/ocfs2 directory contains knobs used by the
6 ocfs2-tools to interact with the filesystem.

8What: /sys/fs/ocfs2/max_locking_protocol
9Date: April 2008
10Contact: ocfs2-devel@oss.oracle.com
11Description:
12 The /sys/fs/ocfs2/max_locking_protocol file displays version
13 of ocfs2 locking supported by the filesystem. This version
14 covers how ocfs2 uses distributed locking between cluster
15 nodes.
16
17 The protocol version has a major and minor number. Two
18 cluster nodes can interoperate if they have an identical
19 major number and an overlapping minor number - thus,
20 a node with version 1.10 can interoperate with a node
21 sporting version 1.8, as long as both use the 1.8 protocol.
22
23 Reading from this file returns a single line, the major
24 number and minor number joined by a period, eg "1.10".
25
26 This file is read-only. The value is compiled into the
27 driver.

29What: /sys/fs/ocfs2/loaded_cluster_plugins
30Date: April 2008
31Contact: ocfs2-devel@oss.oracle.com
32Description:
33 The /sys/fs/ocfs2/loaded_cluster_plugins file describes
34 the available plugins to support ocfs2 cluster operation.
35 A cluster plugin is required to use ocfs2 in a cluster.
36 There are currently two available plugins:
37
38 * 'o2cb' - The classic o2cb cluster stack that ocfs2 has
39 used since its inception.
40 * 'user' - A plugin supporting userspace cluster software
41 in conjunction with fs/dlm.
42
43 Reading from this file returns the names of all loaded
44 plugins, one per line.
45
46 This file is read-only. Its contents may change as
47 plugins are loaded or removed.
48
49What: /sys/fs/ocfs2/active_cluster_plugin
50Date: April 2008
51Contact: ocfs2-devel@oss.oracle.com
52Description:
53 The /sys/fs/ocfs2/active_cluster_plugin displays which
54 cluster plugin is currently in use by the filesystem.
55 The active plugin will appear in the loaded_cluster_plugins
56 file as well. Only one plugin can be used at a time.
57
58 Reading from this file returns the name of the active plugin
59 on a single line.
60
61 This file is read-only. Which plugin is active depends on
62 the cluster stack in use. The contents may change
63 when all filesystems are unmounted and the cluster stack
64 is changed.
65
66What: /sys/fs/ocfs2/cluster_stack
67Date: April 2008
68Contact: ocfs2-devel@oss.oracle.com
69Description:
70 The /sys/fs/ocfs2/cluster_stack file contains the name
71 of current ocfs2 cluster stack. This value is set by
72 userspace tools when bringing the cluster stack online.
73
74 Cluster stack names are 4 characters in length.
75
76 When the 'o2cb' cluster stack is used, the 'o2cb' cluster
77 plugin is active. All other cluster stacks use the 'user'
78 cluster plugin.
79
80 Reading from this file returns the name of the current
81 cluster stack on a single line.
82
83 Writing a new stack name to this file changes the current
84 cluster stack unless there are mounted ocfs2 filesystems.
85 If there are mounted filesystems, attempts to change the
86 stack return an error.
