Ah, but they are. For example, the RAs currently use their metadata to tell the GUI what defaults to set for clone_max, clone_node_max already, and I'd expect that a drbd RA would also wish to tell us that yes, it would want to have notifications enabled by default pretty please, and that yes, it's a master-slave one. (Currently, this is indicated by the promote/demote/notify ops being in the metadata.) If we move it out of the regular namespace, it follows they shouldn't be described within the regular <parameters> section in the metadata either. So we need to put them somewhere else... i think the best way forward (for now) is to have the PE support the meta_attributes stuff but not use it by default.  just have it available as an "advanced" option when people run into conflicts. ie. no changes required for the RAs in the short term -- Andrew Beekhof "Would the last person to leave please turn out the enlightenment?" - TISM
