Hi,

you have to make sure that on all nodes exporting /gpfs/home that
filesystem must have identical inode-structures an an identicat
major/minor number for the device where the data actual resides.

You can determine the device by using 'mount | grep "/gpfs/home"'.

Kind regards,

Nils Hildebrand
