[Linux-cluster] can not mount GFS, "no such device"

[Diamond Li]

thanks Gordan,  looks like we are in the same timezone, here  is the
command, same as previous one except for using mkfs.gfs2 instead of
gfs_mkfs

 mkfs.gfs2 -t clearcase:gfs -p lock_dlm -j 6 /dev/vg100/lvol0

[root at wplccdlvm445 gfs]# clustat
