The above fstab file creates a 64MB ramdisk on the nodes. Your nodes have
64MB.

Try ratcheting this size down to 40MB or so and see if they come up.

Once you get it running, you can use vmadlib to trim the library list
and trim the node ramdisk accordingly. As I have mentioned elsewhere
on the list, the remote ramdisk can be made quite small with some effort.

Good luck!
