Hi Dan,

Is this the old cluster infrastructure (e.g. rhel4/centos 4/stable or equiv) or
the new cluster infrastructure (e.g. rhel5/HEAD or equiv)?

Since you're using manual fencing, perhaps you should start from the beginning
in case a node thinks it needs a fence ack:

1. power off all nodes
2. power on all nodes
3. start clustering on all nodes
4. do group_tool -v on all nodes to make sure there are no error conditions
5. start clvmd on all nodes
6. do your mounts

Let me know what happens.
