so still following instructions at http://www.gyrate.org/archives/9 im at the part that says "# ccs_tool create /root/cluster /dev/iscsi/bus0/target0/lun0/part1" in my config, I have the dell PERC 4/DC cards, and I believe the logical drive showed up as /dev/sdb so do I need to create a partition on this logical drive with fdisk first before I run ccs_tool create /root/cluster /dev/sdb1 or am I totally off track here? i did ccs_tool create /root/cluster /dev/sdb and it seemed to work fine, but doesnt seem right..
