Hi.

The short story... Rush job, never done clustered file systems before, vlan didn’t support multicast. Thus I ended up with drbd working ok between the two servers but cman / gfs2 not working, resulting in what was meant to be a drbd primary/primary cluster being a primary/secondary cluster until the vlan could be fixed with gfs only mounted on the one server. I got the single server working and left to for the contractor to do there bit. Two months down the line and a few other hiccups in the mix I have a server that wont mount the gfs partition.. assuming that drbd hasn’t gotten confused and lost the data on the drive..

 

If I can how do I fix this.

 

Drbd is currently as follows:

[root@mcvpsam01 init.d]# drbd-overview

  1:r0  WFConnection Primary/Unknown UpToDate/DUnknown C r----

 

Cman:

 

[root@mcvpsam01 init.d]# /etc/init.d/cman status

groupd is stopped  

 

gfs2 mount

 

[root@mcvpsam01 init.d]# ./gfsmount.sh start

Any ideas how I can get the file system mounted to recover the data.

 

 

 

Thanks
