Hi, JBoss Version : 4.2.3 GA JBoss Portal : 2.7.0 HA Operating System : OpenSuSE 11 JDK Version 1.6.0_06 I am facing the problem, that when I am using a central NFS deploy dir mounted to my two cluster members, my second server halts while booting. After becoming a cluster member, the boot procedure stops and I am facing 100% CPU load by jvm. Both servers mount the $JBOSS_HOME/server/all/deploy dir from my file server in order to save time when deploying new stuff. my last log entry is 21:18:43,479 INFO [TomcatDeployer] deploy, ctxPath=/portal-wsrp-admin, warUrl=.../deploy/jboss-portal-ha.sar/portal-wsrp.sar/portal-wsrp-admin.war/ the server does not continue several minutes; after I shut down node 1 and node 1 disappearing from the cluster, the server continues starting... Are there any known problems with using NFS deploy dirs? Thanks in advance gore View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4187068#...
