[Linux-cluster] gfs problem on FC6

Hello all

I am using a gfs filesystem on FC6 with a two node cluster.  Since I 
needed gfs_grow, I checked out "cluster" from sources.redhat.com with 
the tag "RHEL50".  I first tested gfs functionality without cluster ( -p 
lock_nolock ).  I then made a two node cluster and formatted the volume 
again with (-p lock_dlm).  On one node, the filesystem can be mounted 
but on the other it fails.  gfs_fsck runs and gives no errors. The 
errors from the mount command and in /var/log/messages are as follows

[root at clnode31 ~]# mount /dev/mapper/ExVolGroup-ExLogVol /mnt/tmp/ -t gfs
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 
/dev/mapper/ExVolGroup-ExLogVol,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

[root at clnode31 ~]# tail /var/log/messages

What am I doing wrong ????

Thanks in advance.

Yours Sincerely
