[Ocfs2-devel] disable reboots when fencing

[Hoot, Joseph]

What is the OCFS2 v1.4 equivalent to the OCFS2 v1.2 command to disable reboots upon fencing?

 echo 1 > /proc/fs/ocfs2_nodemanager/fence_method 

Thanks,
Joe

That does not disable reboots. It merely changes the fence method panic.
The default is a pci bus reset.

We don't have it in 1.4 though we could add it back easily. The only use 
I see
is if one needs to get a kernel coredump at the time of the fence.

	The big question is why you want this.  You are opening your
systems up to data corruption, which is a very bad thing.
