I have a 4 node cluster non dell 2850s running SLES10 sp1 connected to
EMC storage. I have a shared ocfs2 volume to store my xen VM configs
and image files. When I built the cluster i used kernal mode heartbeat
for the OCFS2, I got everything to run except that one node refused to
mount my ocfs2 volume at boot from fstab. I works fine after the boot
finished if I type mount -a. Novell support suggested i move to
usermode heartbeat and create cluster resources to start my ocfs2
volumes. That was a disaster, my volume wouldn't stay mounted on some
hosts, sometimes I tried tried to get a host to start the resource
after it failed it would try to dismount the ocfs2 device on all
hosts, if one host started a VM it would hang trying to remote the
device. I gave up and went back to kernel mode.

So to make a long question short anyone have any suggestions on
getting the ocfs2 volume to mount at boot time?
