thanks a lot

what you write in both bugzilla numbers are very
helpfull, now I understand the problem and how to fix
it, at least for my scenario :-)
(with clvm I can label the filesystem and them trust
the relation "device" <--> "content of device" for
both servers, after that, I can create the FSresource
as shared resources, and then make a reference to them
in each service)
I never realiced the fact that rgmanager "was designed
to allow coexistence of all resources on a single node
for a given configuration" so it is very serious about
collisions ;-)


but I agree about investigating b) because it make
sense to have a cluster with a bunch of sets of nodes
where each set might run services with same mount
point and scripts but different content (/var/www and
httpd <--> website and new-website-version ) ;-)

again, thanks a lot
