Hi.

I'm using Failsafe 1.0.4 and SuSE 7.3.

I have a problem with NFS and "embedded" filesystems.

I mean I have /space (part of / filesystem)
and I have /space/it defined as filesystem (/dev/sambavg/it),
so i defined NFS resource with nohide option:

define resource /space of resource_type NFS in cluster test
        set hosts to 10.1.1.1
        set export-info to "rw,no_root_squash,nohide"
        set filesystem to /space
        add dependency /var/lib/nfs of type Filesystem
        add dependency 10.1.1.10 of type IP_address
done

that's my ha-filesystem:

define resource /space/it of resource_type Filesystem in cluster test
        set Device to /dev/sambavg/it
        set FSType to ext3
        set force_umount to yes
        add dependency sambavg of type LVM_volume
done

This conf doesn't seems to be  working. 
After I mount /space on the client,
the /space/it directory is always empty.

I've tested this without failsafe 
and it was working.

Is there a bug in my configuration, or
is there a bug in failsafe ?

Regards,
mpr.
