You need to bind your /var/lib/nfs/sm directory to somewhere shared across all nodes (i.e. on cluster file system), and sm-notify them on starting nfs server on the new node.
In that case, nfs clients are notified to use the new node when switching happens. 2008/9/9 Geoff Dunk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Nils > > I use the following command which resides within /etc/fstab > > HPC:/gpfs/home /gpfs/home nfs defaults 0 0 > > I do get exactly that message about stale NFS mounts. > > I am not sure quite what you mean about major and minor numbers of > devices? > > Regards > > Geoff Dunk > HighPerformance Computing Engineer > > Phone 01604 799834 > Mobile 07825 344332 > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hildebrand, > Nils, 232 > Sent: 09 September 2008 08:53 > To: General Linux-HA mailing list > Subject: RE: [Linux-HA] NFS locks > > Hi, > > what mount command do you use on your clients? > > Do you get error-meesages about stale NFS mounts on your clients? > > Are major and minor number of the device where your NFS-filesystem > resides the same on all your cluster-nodes? > > > Kind regards, > > Nils > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Geoff Dunk >> Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2008 10:48 PM >> To: [email protected] >> Subject: [Linux-HA] NFS locks >> >> Can someone please help? >> >> I have 2 servers providing access to the same data and need >> to implement Linux-HA to provide failover between the 2.
