Hi Abhi,
Thanks for your response. I didn't do much to run into this problem.
The 2 file servers in this RedHat cluster are running fully patched
RHEL 5.1. In addition to NFS, they are also serving to Windows
clients using samba. ACLs were enabled. Everything was running
smoothly until I tried enabling quotas: I simply added quota=on in /
etc/fstab and re-mounted the GFS partitions.
As you can see below, I simply issued "reset" and then "init" command
before getting the error message. The "get" command also returned
inconsistent result from the "list" command. This is a new file
server still under testing with only a small "prof" directory.
Did I do anything wrong?
Steven
