[Linux-cluster]GFS Problem

[Frank L. Setinsek]

The storage is fronted by a switch, the SCSI errors occur after the
Queue_Full warning which seems to initiate the problem.  In this context,
what does Queue_Full mean?

It really looks like your storage cannot have more than four nodes accessing
it at a single time.  You are getting scsi errors which are completely
confusing gfs, and causing it to panic.
