[Linux-cluster] What is the proper way to grow LVM/GFS volumes

[Alan A]

I did. After running lvextend command 'clvmd -R' failed on node2. Then I
fenced the node2 (fenmrdev02) and run the clvmd -R again, this time without
problems. I tried lvextend again - I get the same problem, and again clvmd
-R times out.
