[Ocfs2-users] problem mounting ocfs2: heartbeat

[Bruce Schwartz]

The doc actually talks about using o2cb but that wasn't working so I
went to the manual instructions so I could break things down into
smaller steps.  In any case, I followed the instructions in your
e-mail (with the addition of adding a mkfs.ocfs2 step) and I'm still
getting the error message when I try to do the mount:

# mount -t ocfs2  /dev/hda4 /mnt
ocfs2_hb_ctl: Internal logic failure while starting heartbeat
mount.ocfs2: Error when attempting to run /sbin/ocfs2_hb_ctl:
"Operation not permitted"

I take it this isn't something other people have seen very often...
