The basic problem is that the only cleanup of /etc/mtab is done by the "mount -a -d #" call from rc.nodedown. It will zap anything that looks like it came from the node that was down, but it has no way of knowing that a line like: tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0 or even sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0 came from the node that went down. Wouldn't it be nice to add a "node=#" to mtab to simplify this? Or would that cause horrible problems? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
