Hi Steve, I believe the 16 node is a limit of qdiskd only, isn't it? CMAN node limit can be much higher, I believe. I don't know about GFS/GFS2 node limits, on the other hand. >From the Cluster FAQ at http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/wiki/FAQ/CMAN: "Is quorum disk/partition reserved for two-node clusters, and if not, how many nodes can it support?Currently a quorum disk/partition may be used in clusters of up to 16 nodes."

The theoretical limit is much higher and it may be possible to raise the supported node limits in future, Steve. -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
