Hello, I just installed a 4 nodes webfarm (using direct routing). a cron on each server check a file ($netconfig on GFS) like this : if ! find $netconfig -anewer $netconfig | grep -q $netconfig ; then echo "cluster node $node : $netconfig has changed, reconfiguring network ..." "$netsetup" fi So when I update the file, every server run $netsup. this is my way to configure IP and arptables. But as I know now, the atime is updated every hour. So my first option would be to tune this to 60 instead of 3600. But I suppose that I will have a perf issue ?? Do you have tips to handle that kind of scenario : watch a file for modification ?
