I had a similar problem in my Redhat Clustering and Storage Management

mistakes I made while playing around in one of the labs. I know once it
was because I was trying to mount the block device instead of the
logical volume.
I'm assuming you mean that you were mkfs-ing one and then trying to
mount the other. I'm vehemently against putting everything on lvm just
for the sake of it, but I've never had a problem with mkfs-ing or
mount-ing either, as long as it's consistent. I tend not to partition
iSCSI and DRBD volumes, so I know that working direct with the whole
block device works just fine.
in my humble opnion, redhat has a log way to provide real enterprise
solution, both from software quality and documentation.
There doesn't seem to be enough in this thread to persuade me that
the cause of problems isn't user error. :)
IIRC, gfs2 is still under development and considered experimental.
There's tons of documentation for production-quality GFS and I imagine
once gfs2 gets more mainlined, this will be the case also.
Don't quite me on this, but I'm pretty sure GFS2 is deemed stable as of
RHEL 5.4 (or was it 5.3?). Having said that, I haven't yet deployed any
GFS2 volumes in production, and don't plan on doing so imminently, so
draw whatever conclusions you see fit from that. ;)
