In RHEL3 the locking system is gulm, gulm requires 3 nodes for redunancy. You can run in with only one, but if that goes, teh cluster goes. Comming in RHEL4 (and which is the current CVS) we switched to cman/dlm. This system can have only two nodes. (and also doesn't have lock servers as every node is an equal.) -- Michael Conrad Tadpol Tilstra It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education. </BODY> </HTML>
