CTDB configuration question

[Collins, Kevin [Beeline]]

I have now configured both CIFS and NFS with CTDB and it is working to a
certain extent:

I have an NFS export node 0 mounted on a client.

On the client, I start a copy from the mount.

I run 'ctdb disable -n 0' from one of the nodes. I use 'ctdb status' and
'ctdb ip' to see that node 1 has taken over - my copy continues as
expected.

I run 'ctdb enable -n 0' from one of the nodes. The copy stops and hangs
for about 5 minutes before resuming. This obviously seems to be
unexpected behavior. Both nodes are configured the same.

In /var/log/messages on both systems (at startup) I was seeing:

rpc.statd[6101]: statd: failed to bind to outgoing port, 596
falling back on randomly chosen port 

I was thinking it might be a privileged port issue since the process is
running as user "rpcuser" and the port is less than 1024. I changed the
port to 4596, but I still see:

statd: failed to bind to outgoing port, 4596        falling back on
randomly chosen port

However, I just noticed that on node 0 I see this message every time
statd restarts (via the enable), but I only see it on node 1 at the
initial startup of statd (i.e., 'service ctdb start').

I have confirmed (with lsof) on both nodes that the port is not in use.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Kevin

It is used by
/etc/ctdb/statd-callout
