[Ocfs2-users] VM node won't talk to host

I am trying to mount the same partition from a KVM ubuntu 8.04.1 virtual
machine and on an ubuntu 8.04.1 host server.
I am able to mount the partition just on fine on two ubuntu host servers, they
both talk to each other. The logs on both servers show the other machine
mounting and unmounting the drive.
However, when I mount the drive in the KVM VM I get no communication to the
host servers. I have checked with tcpdump and the VM doesn't even attempt to
talk to the other cluster members. The VM just mounts the drive like no one
else is on the cluster, even though both the other nodes already have the
drive mounted.
I have checked and rechecked all the settings, the cluster.conf is the same on
all nodes, the drive haa the same uuid and the same label. The only thing
that is different is the actual device name. On the host servers it is the
AOE device '/dev/etherd/e0.1p11', on the VM the '/dev/etherd/e0.1' device is
mapped to '/dev/sdb' so the OCFS2 partition shows up as '/dev/sdb11'
The only thing I can think of is that the device names have to be the same
between all hosts, but that really doesn't make any sense to me. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
