If you're really sure about that ... BTW, if there are core dumps which don't result from ABORT (signal 6), then it would be good to see backtraces. > Also those core dumps happen only on the active node in our two-node > cluster.

Though if something really goes wrong and you don't have a coredump we'd probably ask you to reproduce :) Thanks, Dejan > Thanks in advance, > Tobi > _______________________________________________ > Linux-HA mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha > See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems _______________________________________________ Linux-HA mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems
