Thanks for the quick reply. I usually start/stop it using: service mysqld start/stop Probably the service wasn't properly started, or shutdown, and that file (/var/lock/subsys/mysqld) was preventing it from starting up again. Next time I'll know. Thanks a lot! Rui Meireles -----Original Message----- From: James R.

How are you starting/stopping the mysqld resource on the active/passive nodes? On my fedora machines /etc/init.d/mysqld create/removes /var/lock/subsys/mysqld as part of start/stop > Thanks > > _______________________________________________ > drbd-user mailing list > drbd-user at lists.linbit.com > http://lists.linbit.com/mailman/listinfo/drbd-user -- James R.
