I mean not "failing over when the LAN link dies". please zoom out a little. from my point of view, it makes no sense to trigger a failover because the replication link dies. it would even be harmful. so don't do that. -- : Lars Ellenberg http://www.linbit.com : : DRBD/HA support and consulting sales at linbit.com : : LINBIT Information Technologies GmbH Tel +43-1-8178292-0 : : Vivenotgasse 48, A-1120 Vienna/Europe Fax +43-1-8178292-82 : __ please use the "List-Reply" function of your email client.
