I was trying fairly hard not to say something like that for fear of alienating helpful members of the list, but I have to admit that when I saw the above in writing, my reaction was relief. The phrase, "complete zoo of versions, tools, shells etc." captures my feelings and it felt good to know I was not alone. I only have 5 Linux-HA clusters in production, plus one recently retired and one coming online as we speak. Probably it would help if I did them more often. At a rate of 1 or 2 per year, things do change rapidly enough that there's usually a new learning curve and I'm faced with the choice to maintain different stacks and tools or try to retrofit the old clusters to keep everything consistent, neither of which is easy with a small staff. I don't mean to complain. If I wanted things to change less often I could have gone into beet farming. But I have to agree with Lars that, overall, the story could be improved, leading to broader acceptance. -- Eric Robinson Disclaimer - November 14, 2012 This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for General Linux-HA mailing list.
