Hi Running CentOS 5.2, all current updates on x86_64 platform. I have set up a 2node cluster with following resources in one service * one shared MD device (the resource is a script that assembles and stops the , device and checks its status). * one shared filesystem, * one shared NFS startup script, * one shared ip. Which are started in that order. And the cluster works normaly, I can move the service between the two nodes. But I have observed one behavior that is not good. Once when trying to move the service from one node to another, the clustermanager could not "umount" the filesystem. Although "lsof | grep <mountpoint>" did not show anything, "umount -f <mountpoint>" did not work. ("umount -l <mountpoint>" did the job) But when the clustermanager failed on that, it also failes on the MD script and goes into "failed" status, with a message that "manual intervention is needed". Why does the node not get fenced down? Upon "reboot -f" the service does not start until the faulty node is back online. Are there any magical things one can put in cluster.conf to get the behavior I want? That if a service does not want to stop cleanly, fence the node and start the service on another node? regards Jonas -- Jonas Helgi Palsson -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
