Hi List, I'm just wondering if a GFS filesystem mount done by clusterfs.sh is any different than a GFS filesystem mount done through /etc/fstab? I have a GFS fs mounted from /etc/fstab on a node, that node also has several GFS filesystems mounted via a cluster service. To me and apparently to the OS, both mounts look the same. I see them all in /proc/mounts and /etc/mtab, I cd into the directories and see the files, etc. What really gets me is that my IBM Tivoli Storage Manager client only "sees" the mount that was made in /etc/fstab. I use the client to browse to where I *know* the other file systems are mounted and the directories look empty to TSM. This leads me to believe that either TSM is dependent on /etc/fstab for some odd reason to see mounts OR that clusterfs.sh mounts are somehow different than /etc/fstab mounts... that last option sounds highly unlikely to me but I do want to be sure about this before I go looking down the other road. I'm trying to get a cluster service to mount GFS filesystems on our backup server to do backups straight from GFS but if they are mounted from a service, TSM doesn't "see" them :( Any input? This problem is most likely a TSM issue, not a RHCS/GFS issue but I just thought I'd ask here first to get the most unlikely possibility out of the way first. Thanks, -- Ryan Thomson
