I'm sorry. I didn't chose it ;-)
Thanks, Lars. I had never quite understood the double naming of "heartbeat" and "Linux-HA". In the early days I had understood they were more or less equivalent, but then as V2 evolved, I began to get the impression that the "Linux-HA" name covered the whole thing whereas the "heartbeat" name was being used for only the lower-level components. Is the naming described anywhere? Anyway, not to worry. It was just a gentle plea that where there was a reasonable choice of naming, that the portability of the software to a wide variety of UN*X-like systems be noted by (if reasonably possible) opting for a 'portable' name. (Incidentally, that's why I like your "pacemaker" names! Nice choice.) Best wishes. -- : David Lee I.T.
