[Linux-cluster] 2-node or degraded 3-nodes?

2012-07-12 Thread Denis Medvedev
If I will plan to add more nodes later, but have only 2 right now, is it better to make 2-nodes cluster or degraded 3 nodes? I recently heard that you cannot add more nodes to 2-nodes cluster without a clusterwide reboot. -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@redhat.com

[Linux-cluster] Disable fencing in a non-shared storage cluster

Hi, Upgraded clusternodes from RHEL5.2 - 5.3 today, and the GFS(1) mount I had was not mounted as usual. It turns out that GFS no longer accepts noatime or noquota? Removing these mountoptions and I could again mount my GFS volume. Which one is now deprecated and why? Regards -- Denis -- Linux
