[Linux-cluster] GFS Issues

[Scott.Money at lycos-inc.com]

[Had trouble with first posting ,sorry if this is duplicate]

Hello,
I am new to the list but I was hoping to run a few questions by you. 
Hopefully this is the correct forum for these questions.

We are in the process of evaluating GFS for an Oracle 9i RAC 
implementation.

I originally downloaded and installed this GFS-6.0.0-1.2.src.rpm using 
this http://www.gyrate.org/misc/gfs.txt , the Admin Guide (from RedHat) 
and a Sistina RAC install guide(from RedHat).

That worked to a degree in that I could mount one node on the system, but 
all other nodes are blocked from mounting the gfs. This problem led me to 
the 8 char limitation 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=127828 . My node 
names are unique in the first 8 chars (e.g. bwing.domain.com and 
xwing.domain.com) . 

First Attempt Environment
 GFS-6.0.0-1.2.src.rpm
 RedHat AS3
 Kernel Version 2.4.21-15.ELsmp
 Using GNBD to export an external scsi array
 Used the example pool configs from the RAC install guide
 manual fencing (status for all nodes is "Logged In")
 2 nodes, 1 GNBD and dedicated lock_gulm server
 
Not sure what to do I looked for a newer version of GFS.

Now I am going through the steps I did before except now I am getting a 
build error on the rpm-build.

---------- 
The warnings I think I can ignore, but I am not sure what to do about the 
build errors.

New Version environment
 GFS-6.0.2-26.src.rpm
 RedHat AS3
 Kernel version 2.4.21-27.0.4.ELsmp


Got my GFS src rpm from 
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/enterprise/3AS/en/RHGFS/SRPMS/

Any help would be appreciated on either issue and please let me know if 
there is more information that is required.
