Hi Seby, Sorry for the late reply, I have been very busy these past days. This seems to be a JGroups issue that could probably be better answered by Bela Ban on the JGroups mailing list. I have seen emails these past days on the list with people having similar problem. I would recommend that you post an email on the JGroups mailing list with your JGroups configuration and the messages you see regarding MERGE failing.
Keep me posted Emmanuel > Also, here is the error which I see from the logs: > > 2010-03-22 08:31:15,912 DEBUG protocols.pbcast.GMS Merge leader > 10.10.10.23:39729 expects 2 responses, so far got 1 responses > 2010-03-22 08:31:15,913 DEBUG protocols.pbcast.GMS Merge leader > 10.10.10.23:39729 waiting 382 msecs for merge responses > 2010-03-22 08:31:16,313 DEBUG protocols.pbcast.GMS At 10.10.10.23:39729 > cancelling merge due to timer timeout (5000 ms) > 2010-03-22 08:31:16,314 DEBUG protocols.pbcast.GMS cancelling merge > (merge_id=[10.10.10.23:39729|1269261071286]) > 2010-03-22 08:31:16,316 DEBUG protocols.pbcast.GMS resumed ViewHandler > 2010-03-22 08:31:16,317 DEBUG protocols.pbcast.GMS Merge leader > 10.10.10.23:39729 expects 2 responses, so far got 0 responses > 2010-03-22 08:31:16,317 DEBUG protocols.pbcast.GMS Merge leader > 10.10.10.23:39729 collected 0 merge response(s) in 5027 ms > 2010-03-22 08:31:16,318 WARN protocols.pbcast.GMS Merge aborted.
