The way you ask the question make me suspect that the partition you
created and formated is not a shared disk, e.g. iSCSI, Fiber Channel,
Firewire (for testing only).  Is it a shared disk?  If so do both nodes
actually see the same disk?

If you are formatting a partition on the systems local disk (not
shared) it will not work.  You will be able to mount it on the local
node, but the remote node will have no way to see the disk and will be
unable to mount it.
