[Ocfs2-users] Adding new nodes to OCFS2?

[Ulf Zimmermann]

I looked around, found older post which seems not applicable anymore. I
have a cluster of 2 nodes right now, which has 3 OCFS2 file systems. All
the file systems were formatted with 4 node slots. I added the two news
nodes (by hand, by ocfs2console and o2cb_ctl), so my
/etc/ofcfs/cluster.conf looks right:

node:
        ip_port = 7777
        ip_address = 192.168.201.1
        number = 0
        name = dbcl1n1
        cluster = dbcl1

node:
        ip_port = 7777
        ip_address = 192.168.201.2
        number = 1
        name = dbcl1n2
        cluster = dbcl1

node:
        ip_port = 7777
        ip_address = 192.168.201.3
        number = 2
        name = dbcl1n3
        cluster = dbcl1

node:
        ip_port = 7777
        ip_address = 192.168.201.4
        number = 3
        name = dbcl1n4
        cluster = dbcl1

cluster:
        node_count = 4
        name = dbcl1

But is there a way to get node 0 and 1 to dynamically accept the
addition of node 2 and 3? Everything I find seems to indicate I have to
unmount, run /etc/init.d/ocfs2 stop, /etc/init.d/o2cb restart and then
/etc/init.d/ocfs2 start. Is there no way of telling o2cb there are two
new nodes? Like a /etc/init.d/o2cb reconfigure?
