Jason, if IIRC, the dells internal disks show up as /dev/sd* devices. Do you have a shared storage device? If /dev/sdb1 is not a shared device, then I think you might need to take a step back and get a hold of a SAN of some type. If you are just playing around, there are ways to get some firewire drives to accept two hosts and act like a cheap shared devices. There are docs on the Oracle site documenting the process of setting up the drive and the kernel. Note, that you'll only be able to use two nodes using the firewire idea. Also, you should specify a partition for the command below. That partition can be very small. Something on the order of 10MB sounds right. Even that is probably way too big. Then use the rest for GFS storage pools.
