In my situation, I am torn between what works now and what "will" work tomorrow. My current choice of distro has some interesting...irregularities, shall we say? Not to throw myself into the middle of a "get a real distro" holy war, but: one release has working Corosync/Pacemaker but doesn't seem to support cman integration (even though it carries the packages for it), while a later release supports cman and (apparently) not corosync/pacemaker alone, but pacemaker dies a horrible death when I put nodes into standby (not necessarily cman-related, I realize). Part of me wants to just build the whole stack from the sources and get exactly what I want, while other part wants to save myself the angst, time, and human-error of doing such a thing, and make the provided packages work.
I am probably trying too hard to future-proof, and either need to stick with what works now, switch distributions or work harder to solve the outstanding problems of the latest distro release's cluster packages. Anyway, thanks for the info - it is most happily received! -- Matthew
