Hmmm. I dug thru the mailing list and saw a few references to *NOT* using software RAID with GFS. So, I tried just using a physical disk and switched to using GNBD instead of AoE. I also tried moving up to the CVS version of the cluster software. Unfortunately, I get the exact same kernel panic, same error, everything. I'm really not sure where I am going wrong, but I basically can not get GFS to work at all :( -poul -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
