[rhelv6-list] Sanlock disk leases on drbd/gfs2 volume

[Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (Santiago) discussion mailing-list]

Hi all,
I have a 2 node cluster that consists of the following:

* 1 drbd/gfs2 partition that holds VM images and XML
* Sanlock configured with the disk lease directory on the same drbd/gfs 
partition


Everything is working well aside from one small issue I ran into. When 
testing fencing, on one particular test GFS began replaying the journal 
for the remaining node, and in the middle of it rgmanager attempted to 
recover the VM.  Normally this wouldn't be an issue as libvirt would 
just pause until GFS was ready. However since it's talking to sanlock 
first, sanlock attempted to acquire the lock while GFS was not ready, 
and failed. This caused the recovery itself to fail.

I'm attempting to keep the lease directory on the shared storage so that 
I do not have introduce another single point of failure in the cluster 
by having an outside NFS mount. Perhaps I'm missing a setting that would 
have rgmanager wait for recovery until GFS has finished replaying its 
journal?

Thanks in advance for the help!
