This is a known bug, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=475293 It's fixed in 4.7 or you can run a program to set up a workaround. Having said that I have heard reports of is still happening in some circumstances ... but I don't have any more detail -- Chrissie -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
