Also, I don't think this is an issue that makes hastd unusable in FreeBSD 8.2 :-). The issue is the following. Before switching the node to primary the failover (third-party) script is checking if secondary process is still alive (assuming that in this case the primary on another node is still alive too) and fails if it is -- some protection against split brain. But before r219721 secondary might not die automatically when primary host was down. This can be workarounded. E.g. by removing the check in the script :-). Or setting net.inet.tcp.keepidle to some small value (e.g. 10 seconds) -- this should make secondary notice that another end is dead after this interval. -- Mikolaj Golub _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
