Can you post the contents of the [GLOBAL] seconds of /etc/lvm/lvm.conf? Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: linux-cluster-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-cluster-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kadlecsik Jozsi Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2007 8:02 AM To: linux clustering Subject: clvmd startup timed out Hi, In our GFS cluster clvmd does not start up sometimes. It seems the stuck clmvd cannot recover, even when the node is a cluster member and the quorum is OK: root@lxserv0:~# cman_tool status Version: 6.0.1 Config Version: 6 Cluster Name: kfki Cluster Id: 1583 Cluster Member: Yes Cluster Generation: 516 Membership state: Cluster-Member Nodes: 4 Expected votes: 5 Total votes: 4 Quorum: 3 Active subsystems: 7 Flags: Ports Bound: 0 11 Node name: lxserv0-gfs Node ID: 1 Multicast addresses: 224.0.0.3 Node addresses: 192.168.192.15 root@lxserv0:~# cman_tool services type level name id state fence 0 default 00010001 none [1 2 3 4] dlm 1 clvmd 00010002 none [1 2 3 4] In consequence, 'vgchange -aly' hangs in the init script and we cannot proceed to mount the GFS volumes. When starting clvmd in debug mode, all I get is root@lxserv0:~# /sbin/clvmd -T 10 -d CLVMD[b7d7d6c0]: Aug 29 14:57:16 CLVMD started CLVMD[b7d7d6c0]: Aug 29 14:57:16 Connected to CMAN CLVMD[b7d7d6c0]: Aug 29 14:57:19 CMAN initialisation complete Nothing more and vgchange still hangs. What is missing here?
