I solved this problem. It was because I took down the cluster to move some 
drives around. 

However, after that, I started another thread called DLM Problem because there 
are terrible delays using the GFS storage which is related to a lock problem.

Lock cannot happen because the service is being prevented from starting yet I 
cannot figure out why. I posted some logs in the other thread.

Remove all of gfs, including scripts, then re-install it all? What could have 
gone so wrong from a perfectly working machine to this just from changing out 
drives? This has been very confusing to say the least.
