[Linux-cluster] Issue with KDE with kernel later than 2.6.18-53.1.21

[Randy Brown]

I'm having trouble getting the file system to mount after adding the 
rsize parameter.  Here is my fstab entry:

/dev/vgdevl/shared /fs/shared                    gfs     defaults        0 0

I changed it to:

/dev/vgdevl/shared /fs/shared                    gfs     
defaults,rsize=8192    0 0

and when I try to mount the file system I get:

[root at nfs2-cluster etc]# mount /fs/shared
/sbin/mount.gfs: error mounting /dev/mapper/vgdevl-shared on /fs/shared: 
Invalid argument

Looking though the man pages, it appears that the rsize switch should 
work.  Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Randy
