Hello, we are currently testing the specator mount option for giving nodes readonly access to a gfs filesystem. One thing we found out is that any node having mounted the filesystem with spectator mount option cannot do recovery when a node in the cluster fails. That means we need at least 2 rw-nodes. It's clear when I keep in mind that the node has no rw-access to the journal and therefor cannot do the journal replay. But it is not mentioned anywhere. Could you please explain the ideas and other "unnormal" behaviors coming along with the spectator mount-options. And are there any advantages from it except the "having no journal"? -- Gruss / Regards, Marc Grimme http://www.atix.de/ http://www.open-sharedroot.org/ -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
