Hello -- I am having trouble fscking (running gfs_fsck) on gfs filesystems. I have a two node cluster that is going to be used as file servers. I recently noticed that I could not fsck the gfs filesystem they share. Initially I thought this was due to some problem with my hardware, but when I tried creating a new gfs filesystem, then immediately fsck-ing it, I still have problems, and the fsck is unable to complete. The storage system appears to work fine with other file systems. I am using the "RHEL4 branch", current as of this morning. Does anyone have any advice as to what I might be doing wrong? Here is what I was trying: [root@mugen gfs]# gfs_mkfs -V gfs_mkfs DEVEL.1116516970 (built May 19 2005 11:37:18) Copyright (C) Red Hat, Inc. 2004-2005 All rights reserved. [root@mugen gfs]# gfs_mkfs -j 3 -p lock_dlm -t ftp:dds_space /dev/mapper/ftp_space-erc1 This will destroy any data on /dev/mapper/ftp_space-erc1. It appears to contain a GFS filesystem. Are you sure you want to proceed?
