[Linux-cluster] GFS cookie

Hello,

In our three-node GFS cluster, one node has a different GFS cookie
from the other nodes for the same shared iSCSI LUN.

[root:node11]# gfs_tool list
4172664832 sdb cluster1:iscsi.2

[root:node12]# gfs_tool list
4172664832 sdb cluster1:iscsi.1

[root:node13]# gfs_tool list
4171632640 sdb cluster1:iscsi.0

Is this a possible (correct) state?  R/W is doable and gfs_fsck is
successful on all nodes.  But "gfs_tool freeze" does not accept a
mountpoint as an argument (cookie is OK).  Does this bug still
remains in FC4's GFS packages?

I'm using FC4-i386 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp and the following RPMs:
(iSCSI initiator is SFnet linux-iscsi 4.0.2.1.test)

GFS-6.1.0-3
GFS-kernel-smp-2.6.11.8-20050601.152643.FC4.2
GFS-kernheaders-2.6.11.8-20050601.152643.FC4.2
cman-1.0.0-1
cman-kernel-smp-2.6.11.5-20050601.152643.FC4.2
cman-kernheaders-2.6.11.5-20050601.152643.FC4.2
dlm-1.0.0-3
dlm-devel-1.0.0-3
dlm-kernel-smp-2.6.11.5-20050601.152643.FC4.2
dlm-kernheaders-2.6.11.5-20050601.152643.FC4.2
...

Things have not changed by re-gfs_mkfs or OS re-installation.

Thanks,
