Re: [SSI-users] Re: mkfs unwilling to make filesystems on dependent nodes...

 Bob,

I noticed part of this problem on Friday.  David Zafman and I have
a proposal to leverage Aneesh's work on fstab and fix the mtab 
device naming issue, along with making filesystem failover easier to use.
I think David will share the proposal today.  While he is making those changes,
perhaps he can do a quick fix to help with the overlapping name problem.
