Can you split the logs of the two nodes into two different directories? That will probably solve the problem. This kind of problem is tricky to debug since the glock dumps will tell you what state the glocks are currently in, and not what has been happening the in past. In the upstream code we've now got GFS2 tracepoints which will help in tracking down issues like this, but those are not in RHEL yet, Steve. > -- > Linux-cluster mailing list > Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
