The "mount" command in the /etc/init.d/gfs script does not use the 4th colon, the one with the options like noatime, etc. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install gfs and configure it (long!) 2.add noatime in fstab 3.reboot to test and use the "mount" command to see no "noatime" in the mount options. Actual Results: $ mount /dev/sdd5 on /home type gfs (rw) Expected Results: $ mount /dev/sdd5 on /home type gfs (rw,noatime) Brian Kroth from the Linux-Cluster mailing list added to the script to pass the information in the fstab to the -o options of the mount command. The follow up is still not yet online while I am writing this, but should be in a couple of days. Just follow the bread crumbs. https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-cluster/2008-February/msg00088.html
fixed in 2.02.00, please try the new clustering infrastructure. 1.0x.00 is scheduled to be removed.
