I inherited a broken cluster.  With the help of a national vendor I am  
worse off and 'the good node' is a tad hosed.  I upgraded to the  
latest kernel and got everything back to this point. (Note, the good  
node was shut out of the cluster so the other one is still up and  
working.  That one hangs on an 'ls' command that is why I have my  
doubts about it).  There was data on this node this morning.  I think.  
  I'd prefer not to hose the data on this node in case the other node  
has a problem.  I'm hoping I can just bring it up and it syncs and  
life is good.

Do you want to proceed?

Help appreciated.
Thank You.
