Getting closer. The modules load and run, and after a few minutes GFS will work. The problem is ccsd logs this error "Cluster is not quorate. Refusing connection. Error while processing connect: Connection refused" in syslog. This error will be generated by ccsd every second for 5 minutes, then fence_tool will exit, fenced starts up and I can mount file systems. Cman on the other node will generate this log messages: CMAN: WARNING no listener for port 11 on node fiveoften. This is a 2 node cluster using SCSI disks on Fedora Core 3 and Linux 2.6.9 from kernel.org. I have attached the logs from both hosts and the cluter.conf. Any ideas? The source code was pulled from CVS on Monday. Thank you for your help.
