Hello, In the FAQ we have: ---cut--- Just add deadnode_timer="value" to the cman section in your cluster.conf file. For example: <cman deadnode_timer="21"> The default value is 21 seconds. ---cut--- Do I need to restart cman for the changes to take effect? When i propagate the cluster.conf file to a running cluster I still have old values in /proc/ but cluster.conf in updated. # cat /proc/cluster/config/cman/deadnode_timeout 21 # grep dead /etc/cluster/cluster.conf <cman expected_votes="1" two_node="1" deadnode_timeout="120" hello_timer="10"/> # Best Regards Maciej Bogucki -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
