(i >solved it by rebooting the whole cluster back then... that was certainly >bad). Something went out of sync and it doesn't seem to make sense that it's gotten so complicated. I've not changed anything since everything was working just fine. When I built my first GFS cluster, there was a delay when first accessing the storage which eventually went away. When I fired up the (sama, unchanged) cluster after changing out some drives this time around, all hell broke loose. If I did something wrong, I'd love to learn from the mistake but since I'm now knee deep in confusion, I can't seem to find the answer. I'll try a full shutdown again and see if things get any better. Mike -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
