OK.

This should be "3". Furthermore, apply this command to each of your
clustererd volume groups:
vgchange --clustered y /dev/vg...
Then do a "vgscan".

But the cluster services, including clvmd, have to be started before
the GFS filesystems are used. Better make it another service, that
*only* has the GFS filesystems as resources, and that uses its own
failover domain (one for each node), so that mounting the volumes are
taken care of by the cluster services.

I think this is because the VG's are not marked to be clustered and thus
the other node is not aware of the resizing.
