This was just an example to show how it could be done ;)

That's a moving target lately, so it depends on the version you use and
the configuration of your syslog daemon.

But cman_tool should tell you at any given time what is going on in your
cluster. So take a look at man cman_tool and use this tool to debug your
cluster state."cman_tool nodes" and "cman_tool status" should give what
you need in most cases...

You should search the cluster-wiki, there is an cookbook/howto for
nfs-clustering there. If some questions remain unanswered, then you
could point your question to the helpful crowds on the linux-cluster
list (information for that list is on cluster wiki).
