----- Original Message ----- | I have a LUN which is mounted as gfs2. We replicated this LUN and will need | to mount this replicated LUN to another mount point.

If you're trying to preserve the data and mount the copy, you would ordinarily need to change the file system name in the gfs2 superblock. One way you can do this is something like this: gfs2_tool sb /dev/device table "your_cluster_name:fs_copy" If you mean to mount the copy outside the cluster, you could just change the locking protocol to lock_nolock: gfs2_tool sb /dev/device proto "lock_nolock" However, digimer is correct that the commands you did would have wiped out any existing data.
