The same article proliferated all over the net. > So I wonder if anyone has used it successfully. We are in the middle of testing this setup, and our first tests with storing VMs on the UCarp'd NFS mount seemed to work within VirtualBox, at least for Linux VM's. What happened at failure was that you couldn't load new programs or do anything that tried to access the disk, but it all worked fine after failover completed (within a minute). We have yet to test this with any VMWare host. > With that said, CTDB > /looks/ like it should work for that, but does it? Has anyone used it? Thanks for the tip. We'll include http://ctdb.samba.org/nfs.html in our testing. -- Best Regards Runar Ingebrigtsen
