[Linux-cluster] Duplicate Volumes, GFS fail over

[isplist at logicore.net]

Thanks for the info on this, checking it out now. 

I've installed and started the service but don't see anything yet. Assuming I 
have to do some configuring. Problem is that the system thinks there is some 
confusion about device letters.

  Found duplicate PV TB3VUn1m3CBOj8dRnRjAbRuD3ZIyBp7t: using /dev/sde1 not 
/dev/sda1
  Found duplicate PV uXjYfhj4NlvQphf1DIz28psAAkFmJRaM: using /dev/sdf1 not 
/dev/sdb1
  Found duplicate PV 3mlyNROBtWp4a3LXQEKBiCwk3pJear7u: using /dev/sdg1 not 
/dev/sdc1
  1 logical volume(s) in volume group "VolGroup01" now active
  1 logical volume(s) in volume group "VolGroup04" now active
  1 logical volume(s) in volume group "VolGroup03" now active
  1 logical volume(s) in volume group "VolGroup02" now active

Do I need to clean this up before I get into the multipath config?

Mike
