Something else going on here. I see the device using fdisk; Disk /dev/sda doesn't contain a valid partition table You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root I then use fdisk to create a partition; Disk /dev/sda: 774.2 GB, 774207700992 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 94125 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 94125 756059031 83 Linux Looks fine right. Looking on the net, I can't find anything on gfs_mkfs one single drive so have to make assumptions for now. Assumptions are, lock mode, cluster name, FS name, journals and device. #gfs_mkfs -p lock_dlm -t compweb:web -j 8 /dev/sda Seems to go fine; Device: /dev/sda Blocksize: 4096 Filesystem Size: 188738976 Journals: 8 Resource Groups: 2882 Locking Protocol: lock_dlm Lock Table: compweb:web Syncing... All Done Do an fdisk again; Disk /dev/sda: 774.2 GB, 774207700992 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 94125 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk /dev/sda doesn't contain a valid partition table It's all gone. Guessing I need to gfs_mkfs some other way? Mike -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
