[Ocfs2-users] Error mounting ocfs2 partition...

[Sunil Mushran]

0x83 is ok.

Why is "node_count = 2"? Shouldn't it be 1.
Fix that, restart the o2cb cluster and do the mount.

Let us know how it goes.

My setup is a Compaq Proliant CL380 2 node cluster with a shared storage array.  Both nodes are currently running SLES 10.  However, I am just trying to get one node working.   I have read the User Guide, but can't get it working.  I also don't know if I even created the ocfs2 partition correctly.

At that point I could format it from ocfs2console, then it shows up in the device list.  I couldn't see in any of the docs if this was the correct procedure or if the partition type is correct.
