ok, I have experienced some strange problems bringing up CARP-Interfaces here as well (quite reproducable but also a bit sporadic). Scott did several changes and he finally came up with something that now is running on my systems without any problems any more (my systems are also syncing via a crossover-cable, no switch in between).
Ivan, if you can please crosslink your systems again and do a "update_file.sh /etc/inc/interfaces.inc" on both system before testing again. To have a switch between two machines is needed if you have more than 2 machines in the cluster but with only two machines it's an additional "point of failure" if the switch dies or only has powerfailure. Syncing should work with crosslink-cables too. So if you can give it a try and report back we would appreciate it.

Hrm...I'll have to test this out at home :-/ At work everything is always plugged into a switch (the machines are miles apart), but at home I'm using a crossover cable for the dedicated sync network. But I didn't think that CARP would stay down forever if the sync interface was down :-/ --Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ____________ Virus checked by G DATA AntiVirusKit --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
