[Ocfs2-users] Can not format shared disk

[Sunil Mushran]

This is a very old release. Use a more recent 1.2 release. 1.2.5 is the
latest and we have modules for 2.6.9-22.

Secondly, as you device is only 1G, you may want to tune down the
clustersize to 4K.

# mkfs.ocfs2 -b 4K -C 4K -L label /dev/sdb1

If that does not work, strace it.

# strace -ff -o /tmp/mm mkfs.ocfs2 -b 4K -C 4K -L label /dev/sdb1

File a bugzilla with all the information (strace log), version numbers
and the output of /proc/partions.
