Hi,all Can I create gfs directly on dm-multipath device(such as /dev/dm-0, /dev/dm-1 which is a partition on dm-0)? I've got some problem about it. I create a 2 nodes' cluster, and create a gfs on the device /dev/dm-1. the multipath config is: [size=476 GB][features="1 queue_if_no_path"][hwhandler="0"] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=2][active] \_ 0:0:0:0 sda 8:0 [active][ready] \_ 1:0:0:0 sdb 8:16 [active][ready] Then, I start concurrent read/write/ls test. After about 40 hours, error occurs on one node. The logs are as follows: ---->>the timestamp on the two nodes are not synchronized. they differs about 16.5 hours.
