Subject: Cluster crash

Hi managers,

My 3 member cluster under V5.1b PK4 crashed after one member lost one of his
dimms. cluster_root was badly broken when I tried to rebuild it with fixfdmn
(from a rescue installation).
So I rebuilt cluster_root exactly like documented in the "cluster
administration manual: Troubleshooting clusters" section: make it new but on
the same disk and with a fresh backup restore.
I have a rescue system on which the harware view is like on the cluster and
I can mount any of the filesystems.

When I try to boot the first member with the orig configuration and
specifying the maj,min devices:

     vmunix cfs:cluster_root_dev1_maj=19 cfs:cluster_root_dev1_min=277
clubase:cluster_expected_votes=1 clubase:cluster_qdisk_votes=0
I get an:
     ..
     Waiting for cluster mount to complete
     panic (cpu 0): cfs_issue_localroot_do_mount: namei on boot partition mp
failed

The same is true if I boot the first member (without the kernel clubase:..
Specifications; this member waits until quorum is reached by another member)
and crashes as soon as the second member reaches cluster connect also with
this message.

I googled for the cfs_issue error without any success.

Who knows an advice?

Best regards,

Rudolf Gabler
