Kerber > > 'If at first you dont succeed, dont take up skydiving.' The 'fence_vmware' (and helpers) are designed specifically for vmware. I've not used them myself, but I've heard of many people using them successfully. Side note; GFS2, for all it's greatness, is not fast (nothing using cluster locking will be). Be sure to performance test before production. If you find the performance is not good, consider active/passive on a standard FS. -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.ca/w/ What if the cure for cancer is trapped in the mind of a person without access to education? -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
