This is not the case for the disked 10.3 nodes. Also is doesn't depend whether llbd is running or not. Does anyone knows the magic of this? Magic is the word. This behaviour is known (to me) under all releases: SR10.{0,1,2,3}. Thanks to helpful people in this forum, we made sure to run glbd and rgyd on the same node(s). This helped a lot, but is not a universal cure. Every once in a while (it's been a couple months now) when things get too bad we reboot the entire network, starting with the glbd/rgyd node. The order is important; use the most stable node you can find for running these daemons. - Harald Hanche-Olsen Division of Mathematical Sciences The Norwegian Institute of Technology N-7034 Trondheim, NORWAY
