[Ocfs2-users] Question about eth communication for ocfs2

[Alain.Moulle]

Hi,

I have give it a try :

linkcom PtP between node1 and node2
IO traffic on OCFS2 on both sides
unplug the PtP cable from both nodes
=>both IO traffic on OCFS2 are stalled
=>after a short while, node2 self-fences,
=>whereas a short while after the self-fence of node2 , IO traffic
     on node1 starts again

So in fact, you confirm that there is no "slave or master" question around
this self-fence, but it will always be the larger node number in
/etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf which will self-fence ?

Thanks for your confirmation.
Alain
