[Linux-cluster] fencing looping in a 2-node partitioned cluster

2009-02-23 Thread Rajeev P
Hi, I have question regarding a network partition in a 2 node cluster. Consider a 2-node cluster (node1 and node2) setup with a cross-cable for heartbeat and setup to use HP iLO as the fencing mechanism. In the event of network partition (and this case assume that the cross cable was pulled out)

Alright, more testing today. I reconfigured the GFS nodes to export the filesystems using NFS4 and adjusted the client mounts accordingly and BAM! everything worked, even firefox which was also killing me. So it seems this is a GFS2+NFS3 thing. I did have to, as previously noted, shrink my wsize d
