Hi all.

It was really a glibc version error on my failsafe 1.03.
I switched to cvs 1.04 v and now all works correctly.
I have some questions about managing fs.

I would like to build a 2 node without shared storage disks cluster for 
HA my ftp server.
I have 2 ethernet cards on each pc, one for normal networks and the 
other for heartbeat and control messages.
My first eth on normal net, must pass ip and mac address to te second 
server in the even of a failure of 1st node.
All data file must be replicated between 1st and 2nd node.
Reading the AG, i found that failsafe need a serial line between 2 or 
more NODE in a CLUSTER.
Is it true? If yes why? The only pourpose of a serial line is to shut 
down and doing remote management system?
Failsafe can manage syncing of data files?

I tried to define local node1 and remote node2 on 1st server, but the 
log say :
"node2 is not responding ....".
Why this? I can ping all 4 eth cards and all 4 ip address. My hosts file 
are the same!!!!
The second node does not sync with the first .........

Can you help me?

Best Regards.
G.
