Again this little daemon is heavily coupled with cman. I think it is quite hard to use gfs2 in a cluster build only using "pacemaker+corosync"! Am I wrong?

A big doubt is, why do you make everything from scratch rather than 
having a try on a recent OS release?
No matter why, it's a good start point from trying out a distribution 
that supports HA solution. Trust me,
it's very easy to setup a cluster filesystem (gfs2 or ocfs2) on openSUSE 
or fedora.

Cheers,
Eric

The resource uisng ocf:pacemaker:controld will always fail to start because of timeout, even if start timeout is set to 120s! But if dlm_controld is first started outside the cluster management,  then the resource will show up and stay well!
