Patrick, this is awesome. Here are my numbers: [root@server1 ~]# cat /proc/cluster/config/cman/hello_timer 5 [root@server1 ~]# cat /proc/cluster/config/cman/deadnode_timeout 21 [root@server1 ~]# I'm assuming these are seconds. I think if I increase the deadnode_timeout to maybe 120, then a network hiccup or major glitch (like a reboot of a switch) could be ignored. Thanks again!
