Hi, we created a patch that enables GFS to use the CMANs nodeid value to create CDSLs. Therefore, we created the parameter @nodeid. You can download the patch at: http://www.open-sharedroot.org. We wanted to have a nodeid cdsl for the shared root environment. What is your opinion about the @nodeid parameter ? Have Fun, Mark >From the README: 1. Reason for the patch Create context dependent symbolic links (cdsl) dependent to cmans nodeid E.g. ln -s @nodeid mynode 2. Contents - cman-kernel-nodeid.patch Applies against cman-kernel-2.6.9-41 - kernel-nodeid-symlink.patch Applies against gfs-kernel-2.6.9-42 3. Changes: 3.1 cman-kernel Added API function kcl_get_my_nodeid(void) which returns the nodeid as int. Added line to proc/cluster/status output. E.g: "Node ID: 4" 3.2 gfs-kernel Added new parameter for a cdsl symlink: @nodeid -- Gruss / Regards, Dipl.-Ing.
