In those 30 seconds it is possible for two nodes of the cluster to get exclusive POSIX lock on the same file. Did I miss something here or is this correct behaviour? Also, when trying with BSD flock, it works as I would expect - the locks are only released after the fencing completes and node 1 is confirmed to be fenced. Following is output of dlm_tool dump command. Watch for the line "gfs2fs purged 1 plocks for 1" - the locks of failed node 1 are purged long before the fencing is completed. Thank you for any advice. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> It works as expected; recovery of posix locks does not need to wait for fencing to complete.
