[Ocfs2-users] Fwd: Problems mounting shared filesystem

[Chris Clonch]

Thanks for the reply Sunil!  I thought it might be a network issue,
but when I enabled debug then ran netcat against it I could connect.
Firewall and SELinux are both disabled on all nodes.

I went ahead and reran the ethernet for both sets of NIC to ensure the
old hub I was using was not a factor.  Now everything runs through an
enterprise-class switch.  Stats from netstat and ethtool look normal;
I did not view them prior to the changes.  I also pulled down the
latest updates from RHEL (did I mention these are RHEL5.4?), which
included kernel-2.6.18-164.15.1.el5.  Now the ocfs2_stackglue and
ocfs2_dlmfs modules are failing to load.
