I have been unable to find this particular scenario documented anywhere. This may be the documentation you're looking for: https://fedorahosted.org/cluster/wiki/ServiceOperationalBehaviors Under "Service States", the "failed" state is documented as: failed - The service is presumed dead. This state occurs whenever a resource's stop operation fails. Administrator must verify that there are no allocated resources (mounted file systems, etc.) prior to issuing a disable request. The only action which can take place from this state is disable. So your intuition that the service is marked as "failed" if the stop fails, is correct. However, I'm not sure what you mean by "causing a timeout". What defines a stop failure is up to the resource agent script (located in /usr/share/cluster) corresponding to the resource it's trying to stop. If the "stop" operation from that script returns a non-zero exit code, then the stop is considered to have failed. -- Cos -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
