yes it is consistant. I looked up how to induce a panic using sysrq echo c > /proc/sysreq-trigger
That will work right, the machine cycles the second takes over and all is well. If instead of crashing the node I run 'killall -9 heartbeat' I can get the panic every time. I even edited the external/ipmi script from 'power reset' to 'power cycle' didn't help. Its kinda unstable, if heartbeat dies the who MDS/mgs server setup would lock up, if the server panics I will be ok. I don't like this spot. I am looking at grabbing a crash dump. I think its a race, heartbeat is mounting the filesystems before the first node is toatally dead. Does it hurt to run mmp on the mgs file system also?
