unless you tell us otherwise :-) but thats more constraints you need to write. i was thinking more about this last night... putting the FS and the VM in a group would reduce some of the "clutter". it would also mean you could add a Delay resource before the FS which could be used to stagger the starts... actually setting start_delay for the FS resource's start operation would achieve the same thing... just set them all to different values. _______________________________________________ Linux-HA mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems
