Hi, how many mounts can I make of a gfs filesystem ? I have two nodes in my cluster,each node has a volume created on their respective hard-disks and are exported to each other using GNBD. The problem I an facing is ,after 2 mounts of the file-system I am not able to mount any further. I get File Exists error. here is what I am doing < @ Node 1 > gfs_mkfs -p lock_dlm -t alpha:0 -j 2 /dev/node1/export1 mount -t gfs /dev/v1/export1 /mnt/node1/exp1 < @ Node 2 > gfs_mkfs -p lock_dlm -t alpha:0 -j 2 /dev/node2/export2 mount -t gfs /dev/node2/export2 /mnt/node2/exp2 Now at 'Node 1' I try to mount the gnbd device exported by 'Node 2' < @ Node 1 > gfs_mkfs -p lock_dlm -t alpha:0 -j 2 /dev/gnbd/export2 mount -t gfs /dev/node2/export2 /mnt/node1/v2 "mount : File Exists" I am using gfs 6.1.0 version and a two node cluster on kernel 2.6.9-42. However I dont get any error in mounting if two separate file lock table were used while formatting like "alpha:0" and "alpha:1" for each node's volume. Can you figure out why this is happening?
