[Ocfs2-users] ocfs2 keeps fencing all my nodes

[Srinivas Eeda]

John,

it's hard to tell without seeing the messages on the surviving node. Do 
you remember how many node slots you have created when formating the 
volume? Maybe you configured just 1?, if so, use tunefs.ocfs2 to 
increase the number of slots

If that's not the problem, please copy paste the corresponding messages 
on the surviving node.

thanks,
--Srini.
