Hi Eelco,
We use Ubuntu Server 6.06 for all our nodes. As said, two of the nodes
could not ping themselves, but they could ping other nodes.
Adding the loopback interface to /etc/network/interfaces solved our
problem. The nodes can now ping themselves (after a reboot).
=============================
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
=============================

I have had some troubles with 2 nodes on one of our clusters.
While most nodes finished their map tasks successfully in about 2
secs, two were not responding well. On their Task Trackers the task
status remained UNASSIGNED for a couple of minutes (and the Job
Tracker receives no heartbeats) and then changed to RUNNING but in
the end the task got killed after 600 secs because no status update
had been received.
I found out that this was caused by the fact that we had not
installed the loopback interface correctly on these two nodes. So,
although all machines could connect to each other, two of them could
not connect to themselves.
Could you explain how you installed your loopback device now? I ran
into a similar (maybe the same) problem, where I could only reach the
_local_ tasktracker by poking a hole in my firewall.
Btw, could I have seen this in any of the logs?
I don't think so, it just times out.
