i'll try to be more clear i work on redhat cluster from 2 years and i seen this topic so much times this it's the problem with redhat cluster ping+quorum If i have a two node cluster with public_net+private_net I think it's normal my services switch if have the public network down on the node

We're talking 36TB of storage here.. I've never had much success partitioning an array of that size (and actually being able to use all of the space) without lvm. But I might give that a try. Continuing along this line of thought: If I stop access to the array from all of the servers before I ma
