Thanks for the quick reply. The cluster is up:
cm1:~ # service o2cb status
Module "configfs": Loaded
Filesystem "configfs": Mounted
Module "ocfs2_nodemanager": Loaded
Module "ocfs2_dlm": Loaded
Module "ocfs2_dlmfs": Loaded
Filesystem "ocfs2_dlmfs": Mounted
Checking O2CB cluster ocfs2: Online
Checking O2CB heartbeat: Not active
Does the heartbeat need to be active? Also, -F option does not make a difference here:
cm1:~ # mkfs.ocfs2 -F -b 4K -C 32K -L OCFS2 /dev/sdb1
mkfs.ocfs2 1.2.3
mkfs.ocfs2: Could not write: Input/output error
cm1:~ #
Have you any other thoughts?
TIA,
-Tom
