Am I missing something regarding > locking on GFSv2? The two things that spring to mind are: 1) SELinux - try disabling it. 2) You may have bumped into a GFS2 bug. What distro/cluster version are you running? GFS2 was "preview only" until very recently, and the pace of development and fixes in it are still a tad too high for a production system for my liking. Is there any particular reason why you can't use GFS1? Gordan -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
