Tried running gmetad again and succeeded this time based on the debugging info. Here's most of the session dump:

I didn't actually run these myself, I had someone with root run them for me
because I can't run mount.
However, we still get some graphs missing upon booting Ganglia almost like
before after following the suggestions of Daniel Rich's e-mail to the best of
my ability (the exact commands can be found in the previous e-mail). I may be
missing something though...
I would pay no mind to "data_thread() got no answer from any [NewSpiceCluster]
datasource", we didn't have gmond running at the time on any of the nodes we
were just trying to get gmetad to boot and we finally did at the end, and I
think this message is related to that.
The error log is provided. BUT, many of those errors were corrected. Only the
very most recent ones may be representative of the present problem.
All the best,

Could you please compress the log file and/or post it in pastebin.com with a
link and re-send that email to the list?
Thanks,
