[Ocfs2-users] Recreated FS - getting "no free slots available" message when trying to mount

[Richard Bollinger]

Had to recreate one of eight OCFS2 filesystems normally mounted by six
identical servers running Slackware 11.0 + open-iscsi + ocfs2-tools.
Used this command:
  mkfs.ocfs2 -L je111 -N 6 /dev/sde1

Now, when I attempt to mount the new file system, I get this (from dmesg):

OCFS2 Node Manager 1.3.3
OCFS2 DLM 1.3.3
OCFS2 DLMFS 1.3.3
OCFS2 User DLM kernel interface loaded
ocfs2_dlm: Nodes in domain ("E8739DF804DF48A693DC984C96AD63E6"): 2

(3443,1):ocfs2_mount_volume:1090 ERROR: status = -22
ocfs2: Unmounting device (8,65) on (node 2)

No problems mounting and umounting several previously created FSs with
prior generation of ocfs2-tools.  Normal dmesg excerpt:

ocfs2_dlm: Nodes in domain ("9A383D91EC2149E5AF519FBE871852C7"): 2

Various kernels tried including 2.6.20.13, 2.6.20.15, 2.6.21.5, 2.6.21.7

The 2.6.20 kernels had this patch applied:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mfasheh/ocfs2/backports/2.6.20/ocfs2_2.6.20_fixes-20070502-1.patch

The 2.6.21 kernels had this patch applied:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mfasheh/ocfs2/backports/2.6.21/ocfs2_2.6.21_fixes-20070502-1.patch

Any clues or hints what to try next?

I even went so far as to dd </dev/zero >/dev/sde1 to wipe out the
1.8tb partition before rerunning the mkfs.ocfs2 command.

Thanks, Rich B
