Jason, I just realized what the problem is. You need to apply the config to a "pool" not a normal device. What do your pooll definitions look like? The one you created for the config is where you need to point ccs_tool at to activate the config...

Sent: Wednesday, May 10, 2006 8:31 AM To: linux clustering Subject: RE: question about creating partitions and gfs Jason, couple of questions.... (And I assume you are working with RHEL3+GFS6.0x) 1. Are you actually using raw devices? if so, why? 2. Does the device /dev/raw/raw64 actually exist on tf2? GFS does not use raw devices for anything. The standard Redhat Cluster suite does, but not GFS. GFS uses "storage pools". Also, if memory servs me right, later versions of GFS for RHEL3 need to be told what pools to use in the "/etc/sysconfig/gfs" config file. Used to be that GFS just did a scan and "found" the pools, but no longer I believe. Hope this helps. If not, can you give more details about your config?
