[Linux-cluster] DLM Problem

I didn't know that to be honest. I think you had mentioned it in another post. 
Since day one my understanding was that GFS had to be set up using LVM. 
What are the steps to creating a GFS volume without LVM?

PS: I cleanly rebooted everything again. The logs still show the following;

//
Jan 31 09:44:45 compdev kernel: dlm: could not bind to local address for 
connect: -98
\\

And, I hate to post such long winded logs but it might be helpful. This is 
where things get weird. I've posted about this several times. There is an 
error message that keeps trying to show up as vgchange is trying to run. 

There seems to be old volume information somewhere on the system causing this 
and I think this is the root of the problem. If I could remove the old long 
dead information, I think I could get this resolved.
