Thank you, I solved the problem. I used hostdata parameter to set a different name mount -t gfs /dev/pool/pool0 /mnt/gfs1 -o hostdata=duplnode The mount now uses duplnode instead of hostname returned by uname -n This parameter is described in http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/csgfs/admin-guide/s1-manage-mountfs.html (but I am still wondering where is this 8 bytes limitation specified- I just want to know for reference).
