Need comments on beta 0.4.9g!

Looking for comments - positive or negative on beta 0.4.9g

Has anyone on the lists spent any time with it?

I've been waiting to see how many broken systems there were in the lists
;-)

I'll get it installed here tomorrow and pipe up with any probs.

We do a pretty reasonable job with testing - I did 10,000 failover tests
spread across 2 clusters - one running nice_failback on, and the other off.
All tests passed.

Here are the problems reported so far:

Steve Snodgrass found (and fixed) a problem in send_arp where it
ignores the interface, etc. on the command line
(Thanks Steve!)
A minor compile problem on some newer compilers in a test utility.
Made APC snmp module compile with net-snmp as well as ucd-snmp
An LSB-incompatibility in the heartbeat init script comments.
Fixed ccm program to not run on ping nodes.
Added a missing build dependency to the RPM specfile

All are fixed in CVS, and none require a full retest.

I've done a few hundred iterations of the failovers of this CVS version, and
it passed.

I've completed basic failover testing, using several different methods,
on a 0.4.9g lab cluster and have encountered no problems. I still need
to perform split-brain/STONITH testing. So far so good!

Thanks Alan,

That was sort of a sarcastic comment from me... ;-)

I have it running here on two Dell desktops @ 500MHz. Running quite
nicely, even a bit quicker and more responsive.

It would even appear that my master does not take over (wrongly) for my
secondary when it goes down. A little clarification:

When I take down the secondary machine the master takes over the
resources for it even though the secondary was not running any services
at the time.

Looks good.
