[Debian-ha-maintainers] ocfs2-tools package

[Paul Sala]

Hello ocfs2-tools package maintainer,

I installed OCFS2 on my google cloud server, when I try bringing o2cb
online, I get this error:
  Loading filesystem "ocfs2_dlmfs": Unable to load filesystem
"ocfs2_dlmfs" Failed

The ocfs2 package I installed on my google server is from:
   https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/ocfs2-tools
and I installed ocfs2-tools like this: apt install -y ocfs2-tools

Here is the ocfs2 version I have installed:
  root at lampstack-vm:~# dpkg -l | grep ocfs
  ii ocfs2-tools 1.8.7-1+b1 amd64 tools for managing OCFS2 cluster filesystems

I can see the ocfs2 cluster status as shown here:
  root at lampstack-vm:~# service o2cb status
  o2cb.service - LSB: Load O2CB cluster services at system boot.
  Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/o2cb; generated)
  Active: active (exited) since Fri 2024-06-28 17:04:53 UTC; 2 days ago
  Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)
  CPU: 12ms
  lampstack-vm systemd:Starting o2cb.service - LSB: Load O2CB cluster
services at system boot
  lampstack-vm systemd:Started o2cb.service - LSB: Load O2CB cluster
services at system boot

But when I try to bring the o2cb online I see this error:
  root at lampstack-vm:~# service o2cb online
  checking debugfs...
  Loading filesystem "ocfs2_dlmfs": Unable to load filesystem
"ocfs2_dlmfs" Failed

Looking in the syslogs I see:
  root at lampstack-vm:~# grep -i ocfs /var/log/syslog
  lampstack-vm systemd: Started ocfs2.service - LSB: Mount OCFS2
volumes at boot..
  lampstack-vm modprobe: FATAL: Module ocfs2_stackglue not found in
directory /lib/modules/6.1.0-21-cloud-amd64
  lampstack-vm modprobe: FATAL: Module ocfs2_dlmfs not found in
directory /lib/modules/6.1.0-21-cloud-amd64

My GCP VM kernel is version:
  root at lampstack-vm:~# hostnamectl
  Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
  Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-21-cloud-amd64

It's my understanding that an OCFS2 installation consists of two
parts, the kernel module and the tools module.
I guess installing ocsf2-tools does not install the kernel module?
>From other documentation it appears I need to install the
linux-modules-extra package for my kernel.
I have installed the tools module, but I cannot locate the ocfs2
kernel module for Linux 6.1.0-21-cloud-amd64.

I tried to install linux-modules-extra like this:
 root at lampstack-vm:~# apt install linux-modules-extra-6.1.0-21-cloud-amd64
 E: Unable to locate package linux-modules-extra-6.1.0-21-cloud-amd64
 E: Couldn't find any package by glob linux-modules-extra-6.1.0-21-cloud-amd64

Where can I find the linux-modules-extra-6.1.0-21-cloud-amd64 package?
What are my options if the linux-modules-extra-6.1.0-21-cloud-amd64
package is not available?

Thanks you....Paul Sala
