Re: [RFC PATCH] Resolve an abnormal exit when consensus timeout expired.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Steven Dake,

We have tested your patch last week for a long time, but I am so sorry
to tell you that we could not duplicate the issue again---it never run
into "FAIL" state. The corosync runs so strongly  beyond all our
expectation.

It's both a good news and a bad news :(

Maybe there is unknown condition to duplicate this issue, and I will
continue to monitor it.
