Hello Guys, One simple shell fork bomb was breaking all the cluster (11 virtual machines). This not solve: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-limiting-user-process.html (If I run as root, the virtual machine goes down, the I/O on GFS stop and the cluster does not fence the virtual machine automatic). The I/O return only if I fence_node manually. PS: IF the fork bomb as write in C, does not break the cluster. Only the Shell one...
