I've built an NFS cluster with OCFS2 as a backing filesystem.
This is working quite well with the exception of when a node is restarted/shutdown cleanly it causes a fence operation as network is severed before unmounting OCFS2 filesytems to inform the other node it is leaving the cluster.
Networking is configured as an LACP bond with two physical adapters, and two VLAN interfaces providing IP connectivity. This has all been configured in nmtui with potentially a couple small tweaks to the config files residing in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.
No matter what dependencies I add (Before/After/Requires etc) including network-online.target and various others, or adding in my own systemd service and script to handle the unmounts can I get the server to unmount the _netdev OCFS2 filesystems via systemd before the networking is torn down.
I've added a debug.sh to /usr/lib/systemd/system-shutdown to record some details, here's where the shutdown sequence is started, the 'ocfs unmounting device' is the point where OCFS2 is being unmounted..
