The IP is stopped before disk devices are stopped. See the "child types" in service.sh. IPs are started next-to-last (scripts are started last). If you do a typical configuration where the NFS exports are children of file systems, and clients are children of exports, your IP will start after NFS exports are complete and the IP will be taken off before the NFS exports are unexported. > When taking down the nfs service I want the server to 'disappear' before it > starts unexporting, as i want clients to hang waiting for the service to > come back up instead of getting io errors. That's how NFS failover needs to be done, actually. -- Lon -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
