Hi Bob,
thanks for your help, but I have installed RHEL4 Update 4 AS, and the cluster doesn't work (the cluster.conf and the commands are the same).In the same manner, one node mount the shared partitions (4) without problems, but when the second node mounts the first partition, the mount command hangs.
P.S.: if a node mounts only one partition, the second node mounts the same partition without problems. We have problems with a number of partition =>2.
Any ideas?

(At the moment, our solution is creating only a big shared partition with 4 directories, using quota...)


Regards,
Ale
