We just decided to keep using NFS with XFS. I had the bonding before, but than the guys on the first subnet could not connect to the headnode anymore, because with the bonding the headnode only had one ip addy (which is the one of the other subnet, or vice versa) and I could not figure out how to change the route to tell those nodes that their gateway is on a different subnet (or whatever the problem was). And than I would probably also have to use multicast because the head node would be on a different subnet that those nodes. I just don't know enough about all that, because I am only a student and not a real admin. wolfgang -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
