[Linux-cluster] question about creating partitions and gfs (getting closer!)

[Jason]

ok, figured that out too.. 
http://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-cluster/2005-January/msg00032.html
is what helped.

one last newbie question.. (i hope)
I had to mount my new gfs filesystem manually with 
mount -t gfs  /dev/pool/gfs1 /mnt/gfs/
the service gfs start did nothing..
returned a prompt seemingly without doing anything.. no errors, nothing in syslog.. nuthing..

hopefully Ill figger this out too.
