Thanks for the input Doug.

Cman, ccsd and clvmd are running. I don't see gfs and rgmanager in the process
list but their status indicates that they are running. Strangely, I was sure I
used to see gfs in the task list with a ps? I do see clurgmgrd which is
spawned by gfs right?

Yes, I see the storage I want. This is as far as I can get.

Locks up the command, just sits there until I kill it. I was able to create a
partition from webmin but things still locked up which I posted.

Mount using -t gfs of course :).
Can't get to any of this until I resolve the other but that's how I've always
created my GFS partitions in the past. That's why I'm stumped right now, not
seeing where the problem is and it might be obvious. Perhaps the fact that I
don't see gfs running is a hint? :).
PS: I don't seem to have a problem getting my cluster back up, just the
creating gfs volumes.
