[Ocfs2-users] Strange mounting problem

[Norman P. B. Joseph]

What would cause OCFS2 filesystems to be mountable via 'ocfs2console',
but not via the command line (or /etc/init.d/ocfs2)?  The symptoms are:

# mount /u01
mount.ocfs2: Bad magic number in inode while trying to determine heartbeat information

Similar messages come from the ocfs2 startup script.  Yet using the
mount option in ocfs2console mounts the partitions without a problem.

System is RHEL 5.4 x86_64, OCFS2 is v2.6.18 and ocfs2-tools are v1.4.3.
