Just out of curiosity guys, why are you using ancient kernels? 2.6 is
stable by now :)
"Guy", if anything - my posts referred to earlier were from this time
last year :)
Guy!
If you insist, upgrade to the latest 2.4 kernel which is probably a
year or two NEWER than what you are running.
Time to make that long overdue upgrade,
That's not always possible. At the time I wrote that problem up last
year, and the helpful chaps figured out the actual problem with the
FTP helper breaking persistence, I had about 10,000 websites in that
cluster and couldn't afford downtime. Although saying that I had
mitigated it by using keepalived to failover/back between two
directors, so I was in a position to reboot the live director at will.
Not always possible indeed, but if you can't afford a downtime of ONE
machine, something is wrong and that something needs to be fixed first.
Not everyone has that luxury - and a lot of people seem to be using
LVS "out of the box" with whatever distribution they currently use (as
seems to be the case with the OP here). Several distributions (which
shall remain nameless!) keep their STABLE (oh, there I go) branches
aeons behind the bleeding edge for the simple reason that more often
than not there just isn't any reason to go there.
Debatable. People should know how to upgrade their kernels and should
keep current when the situation permits -- when their ancident
rh-as-if-enterprise kernel doesn't have dependencies on ancient
binary-only provided drivers or what not.
The adage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" applies. Although not in
this case, clearly :)
Oh well!
