Forgive me if I am misinterpreting your comment but you do not sound happy that it happens automatically. I don't want a corrupt fs either. So what _should_ I do ? I am getting really confused. On one hand it looks like many things are automated with heartbeat and drbd but then it seems like automation is causing more problems. When a primary node goes down _hard_ and a secondary takes over there is no telling what the state of the shared resource is in between both nodes. Assuming the secondary is OK it will be come primary but the old primary has a drbd partition in an unknown state. When it comes back online then what does one do? regards, Doug > > Regards, > Lars > > -- > Teamlead Kernel, SuSE Labs, Research and Development > SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) > "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes." -- Oscar Wilde > > _______________________________________________ > Linux-HA mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha > See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems > -- What profits a man if he gains the whole world yet loses his soul? _______________________________________________ Linux-HA mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems
