RHBA-2008:1009 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated cman packages that fix various bugs are now available.

Description

The Cluster Manager (cman) utility provides user-level services for
managing a Linux cluster.

This update includes the following fixes:

• The dirty flag is now properly honored for nodes that have not been seen.
• A new option to fence_tool has been added to delay "fence_tool join",

which may have started too quickly for some network configurations.

All cman users should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve
this issue.

Solution
