Re: Switching package prob.

Hi,

It's not a good idea to mount serviceguard filesystems under any user area particularly if the mount points are not owned by root. That will enable the users to go into that directory and make it busy thereby cause the serviceguard mount attempts to fail. Below is what I suggest.

1. Design the serviceguard filesystems to be mount directly under / if possible.
2. Before mounting the filesystems, ensure that the empty directory permissions are set to 700 and owned by root:root.
3. Mount the filesystems and then change the permissions to whatever your application needs.

This way, when the filesystems are not mounted, these directories will not be accessable and the probability for serviceguard to fail will be minimum.

You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try
