[Ocfs2-users] initial cluster setup

[Wim Coekaerts]

well the cluster.conf is so that all noes can talk over the network for 
locking and membership

if you have

node1 : /dev/sda1  formatted w/ ocfs2

then on node2 you will have to have THAT disk as some devicename, 
whether it also be sda1 or sdd1 or whatever
and there you just have to mount.

1 format on one node once only.

but your disks need to be shared across all nodes! and that's not 
ocfs2's job that s your job to set it up
have you done that part ?
