Thanks a lot Scott/Dinesh/Sharninder/Amit... It's a great help for me with this updated info.
Thanks & Regards, Shrikant Tapse. -----Original Message----- From: Sharninder Khera [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 20, 2007 9:51 AM To: Shrikant Tapse Cc: Amit Chaurasia; veritas-vx@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-vx] Reg: CFS Primary/secondary on Master Hi Shrikant, Guess your question was related to the importance and need of the CFS primary node. AFAIK, the primary node used to be the only node allowed to do metadata transactions earlier. But in CFS 5.0, this behaviour was changed wrt FS v7 and now all nodes can do metadata transactions. Of course, proper locks are maintained so that the file system is consistent.
