Hi, >From the following message, it looks like the gfs2meta mount routine is not able to locate the gfs2 mountpoint. "Dec 31 15:04:56 wplccdlvm446 kernel: GFS2: gfs2 mount does not exist" Can you confirm that /proc/mounts and /etc/mtab all agree on the mounted gfs2 at /gfs? Also, can you run gfs2_grow under strace so that we can see what arguments gfs2_grow passes to the mount() system call when it tries to mount the gfs2meta filesystem?
