Package: heartbeat-2 Version: 2.0.7-2 Architecture: arm I'm using a Linksys NSLU2 with Debian Etch stable. I tried to set up a simple failover between nslu2 and a Gentoo server (i386). The only thing i want to failover is dhcp3-server (no ip failover, only dhcp3-server). I installed the stable heartbeat on gentoo and the stable branch heartbeat on Debian. Gentoo is primary, Debian/NSLU2 is backup. I configured all the things up but soon i noticed that there were some little problems: gentoo complained that the heartbeat versions were different, although some failover was working. The problem was with auto_failback not working. I soon realized that in a newbie fashion i installed heartbeat instead of heartbeat-2 on Debian. I removed the old heartbeat, installed heartbeat-2 and as soon as installation was at the end, my little nslu2 was slowing down. After 1 minute i realized that the only thing was to shutdown the nslu2. I mounted the nslu2 hard disk on pc and performed regular maintenance and deleted symlinks in order not to let heartbeat-2 start at boot. I double checked configuration files and they were the same as they were when "the old" heartbeat (branch 1.) was installed, and that they are the same as on Gentoo server. I booted the nslu2, and all was fine. Load averages were between 0.50 and 1. I then decided to start heartbeat-2 so i typed "/etc/init.d/heartbeat start". System started to slow down, being less responsive. I typed "top" just to see what was process activity. Heartbeat was using many (maybe 43%) of memory, and load averages were steeply raising: in about 2 minutes load average was some like 15. I waited some minutes more but the shell wasn't updating (even if ssh session was still up), so i decided to shutdown again the nslu2.
I retried upgrading heartbeat-2 from testing repository (version 2.0.8-1), but things were the same as above. I think heartbeat-2 on arm is doing something bad, by taking up all resources (cpu, memory). This don't happen with package heartbeat. -- Federico Belvisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
