Default Re: GFS and Fedora 4 Cluser Setup (Begginer)

[ getting GFS working on FC4 ]

That doesn't appear to be the proper syntax, see 'man gfs_mkfs'
"EXAMPLE".

Ok. I tried now the example and got success! Here goes the command:

>gfs_mkfs -t mycluster:mygfs -p lock_dlm -j 1 dev/group1/my_logical_volume


Device: /dev/group1/my_logical_volume
Blocksize: 4096
Filesystem Size: 229332
Journals: 1
Resource Groups: 8
Locking Protocol: lock_dlm
Lock Table: mycluster:mygfs

Syncing....
All Done

Now, let me ask:
Why the filesystem size is not 10.000mb as the partition was?
What is this journals? How many of then i have to use?
Resource Groups is the max number of computers i can have in a
group?

After the success command, i tried to mount and then got error.
Please, look:

>mount /dev/group1/my_logical_group /mnt -t gfs


GFS: Trying to join cluster "lock_dlm", "mycluster:mygfs"
lock_dlm: cannot get cman reference -107
lock_dlm: init_cluster error -107
GFS: can't mount proto = lock_dlm, table = mycluster:mygfs, hostdata =
mount: Transport endpoint is not connected
