GFS Mount Hangs
 

Hi

I am having a problem mounting a GFS 6.0 filesystem on RedHat 3 Enterprse ES.

I have 2 Dell servers connected to a Dell FC disk array. The partitions from the array /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 are configured for the pools alpha and webhome. I have run the following:

1) pool_tool –c pool_webhome.cfg alpha_cca.cfg
2) pool_assemble –a (on each node)
3) ccs_tool create /root/alpha /dev/pool/alpha_cca (on server 1)
4) ccsd -d /dev/pool/alpha_cca (on each node)
5) lock_gulmd (on each node)
6) gfs_mkfs -p lock_gulm -t alpha:webhome -j 3 /dev/pool/pool_weblogs
7) mount -t gfs /dev/pool/pool_webhome /webhome

After mounting, it just hangs and I have to kill lock_gulmd.

Have to kill Lock_Gulm to free up mount process:

Does anyone have any ideas why GFS mount is hanging. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
