But cman does not seem to really fence the node... just remove it from its list.. So that's not enough for our app that has shared storage.. Ideally, I would need the same behavior as stonith and have the call block and return only when we are 100% sure that the node have been fenced. > If you want to change it, I'd recommend calling fence_node from the > particular plugin you're using rather than altering the way libmagma > works (libmagma is dumb -- don't make it smart, that's not it's > job! ;) ). Right now I'm just calling fence_node directly from my app -- Olivier Crête ocrete@xxxxxxxxx Maximum Throughput Inc. -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
