Hmm, I'm wrong there ... failure-timeout does expire the failure history used for status display. It works with the current versions. It's possible 1.1.10 had issues with that. Check the status to see which node is DC, and look at the pacemaker log there after the failure occurred. There should be a message about the failcount expiring. You can also look at the live CIB and search for last_failure to see what is used for the display. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list: Users@clusterlabs.org http://lists.clusterlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/users Project Home: http://www.clusterlabs.org Getting started: http://www.clusterlabs.org/doc/Cluster_from_Scratch.pdf Bugs: http://bugs.clusterlabs.org
