so the main issue was that I was trying to save myself some work and upgrade all the packages via up2date EXCEPT all the kernel packages.. evidently there were some programs like udev or lvm that got updated that deffinately needed those kernel updates and therefore my services werent getting started and other weirdness.. so I bit the bullet and downloaded and recompiled all the updates off the redhat site ftp.redhat.com:/pub/redhat/linux/updates/enterprise/4AS/en/RHGFS/SRPMS/ and ftp.redhat.com:/pub/redhat/linux/updates/enterprise/4AS/en/RHCS/SRPMS/ and installed them and rebooted and now everything is completely back to working. regards, Jason On Wed, May 23, 2007 at 08:10:39AM -0400, Robert Gil wrote: > You need to start clvmd. > > > Robert Gil > Linux Systems Administrator > American Home Mortgage > Phone: 631-622-8410 > Cell: 631-827-5775 > Fax: 516-495-5861 > > -----Original Message----- > From: linux-cluster-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:linux-cluster-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of > jason@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2007 5:56 PM > To: linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: gfs not starting (lvm problem) > > so I went ahead and updated gulm, lvm2-cluster and GFS to > gulm-1.0.10-0.i686.rpm lvm2-cluster-2.02.21-7.el4.i386.rpm > GFS-6.1.14-0.i386.rpm > > and my path to my diskarray is still missing in the dev tree but now... > > [root@tf2 by-path]# vgdisplay > connect() failed on local socket: Connection refused > connect() failed on local socket: Connection refused > WARNING: Falling back to local file-based locking. > Volume Groups with the clustered attribute will be inaccessible. > Skipping clustered volume group diskarray > [root@tf2 by-path]# > > any ideas whats missing? > > Jason > > > On Mon, May 21, 2007 at 05:16:32PM -0400, jason@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > > hey folks.
