Thanks Akemi very much for your always relevant and brilliant works.

As an Indian, where "veda" repository of knowledge originated, I have
always looked at every member of this list as a repository of
knowledge.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedas
I am presuming you are of Japanese origin. together India and Japan
have had a very, very long shared history indeed :

I stand in awe in front of the giant of the members fo this list.
i am almost about to rollover to the so-called "golden" age of 50,
(the origin of these jubilees of which I am unaware of) My respectful
namo namaH (in ITRANS encoding) to all the members.
I am sure you have heard of Hanuman from Ramayana the best grammarian known?

Having said that, I have this troubling thought for last decade: What
exactly is high availability: is it 24/7 power on time? or is ti "when
needed". Please not it am not talking about the maybe arrogant "on
demand" attitude of a human.
I have been a member of this, linux-cluster, and other lists for
alomst half a decade.
I have managed a two node Hearbeat/DRBD setup for about 2 years which
was transformed into a two-node (which became a three) node RHCS
cluster at least for about two Quarters.
This under extreme circumstances in India like 4 hours of (Electrical
Power Load Shedding) outage every day with no fencing device.
I can claim I at least tried that mating dance with those two beasts
and (horror of horror) the breeding ground of PHB (vnbrims.org) with
about 200 PHB without any significant assistance.
I never understood the term "Hig Availability" : does it mean
available as in "soliciting" ?
What exactly those lusers want? and what exactly we self declared high
tech droids / engineers seek?
What exactly is "production" use? (I know DEV, UAT, blah, bla, tla
etc been there done that and I don't have the T shirt - nobody gave me
one)
Always with warm regards only,
Rajagopal
