Ok simple setup 2 nodes. I'm getting the following messages on them and fs2 is NOT join the cluster - I would appreciate any help possible... It's a debian system based on http://xfdeb.sourceforge.net/ - it seemed to be the ONLY way i could get the software to even compile on debian Alternatively I would love to hear from anyone who has done this on debian or if it's mostly a redhat install base FS1 - Looks ok Nov 24 21:47:51 fs1 kernel: Lock_DLM (built Jan 29 2005 20:42:25) installed Nov 24 21:49:28 fs1 kernel: CMAN: Waiting to join or form a Linux-cluster Nov 24 21:50:00 fs1 kernel: CMAN: forming a new cluster Nov 24 21:55:10 fs1 kernel: CMAN: node fs2 rejoining output from ccsd on fs1 fs1:~# ccsd -v -n Starting ccsd DEVEL.1099278672: Built: Nov 1 2004 04:18:46 Copyright (C) Red Hat, Inc. 2004 All rights reserved.
