Hello Everyone!
I have been spending the past 2 months messing with clusters. I built an active\passive 2 years ago with samba and wanted to see how CTDB has been doing. Long story short, I cannot pass the ping_pong test after following the clusters from scratch guide for fedora 13. I can get ping_pong to work in SLES11 under ocfs2.. but only once. Don't know what I did to make it work for both nodes, but it quit. I have tried GFS2 for Ubuntu 10.04 and Fedora 13. I can get a node to mount has jid=1 but not both nodes. Feeling frustrated. I have the latest packages, etc. Worse my goal was to have an active\active samba cluster with the clients not noticing a node failure but I read that wont be possible until SMB2. So now I am wondering what to do. Maybe I should go for a virtual machine that is clustered instead of samba? I could throw on XP and use Sybase\Mysql\MSSQL without any major hassles I suppose and would be more beneficial then using Samba and CTDB? Still annoys me that I cant pass the ping pong test. I am going to format and try again. I gave my client a quote for steel-eye and Failover Server and I think it was too expensive. -Justin Shafer
