I don't know if there is any special configuration required for GFS on debian. But the error message you are getting looks to be because of cluster service/cluster infrastrure is not running properly. Did you configure it before trying to mount GFS? <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 14, 2010 at 11:56 PM, Brent Clark <<a href="mailto:brentgclarklist@gmail.com">brentgclarklist@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> Hiya Im trying to get GFS working on Debian Lenny. Unfortuantely documentation seems to be non existent. And the one site that google recommends, <a href="http://gcharriere.com" target="_blank">gcharriere.com</a>, is down. I used googles caching mechanism to try and make head and tails of whats needed to be done, but unfortunately Im unsuccessful. Would anyone have any documentation or any sites or if you have a heart, provide a howto to get GFS working. >From myside, all ive done is: aptitude install gfs2-tools modprobe gfs2 gfs_mkfs -p lock_dlm -t lolcats:drbdtest /dev/drbd0 -j 2 thats all, ive done. No editting of configs etc. When I try, mount -t gfs2 /dev/drbd0 /drbd/ I get the following message: /sbin/mount.gfs2: can't connect to gfs_controld: Connection refused /sbin/mount.gfs2: gfs_controld not running /sbin/mount.gfs2: error mounting lockproto lock_dlm If anyone can help, it would be appreciated.
