Hi Laurent,

What version of cluster suite/RHEL/Centos/etc., are you using?
I suggest opening up bugzillas against each of the problems you've seen.

I can't speak for Red Hat or any other developer, but my take is this:
Rather than ask if cluster suite can do the job, let's get the
problems solved so it can do the job.
If there's a problem, we want to hear about them.  If we need to
fix the code, that makes it better for everyone to use.
