Hmm... Would it perhaps be better to put this a level up in the XML? I'm 
not sure it makes sense to set this up on every node entry. It would make 
more sense to define it for the whole cluster. I don't really see 
different nodes using a different method to mount the same block device.

Thanks, I'll try it in a bit.

For now, I have a different question - is there a way to specify mount 
options (e.g. noatime) for the GFS shared root? I know there is "options" 
for nfsclient tag, but is there something similar for the rootvolume tag? 
What is the best way to do this?

Thanks.
