    I just ran into a problem with my /tmp area on a 51b cluster and I was
    wondering if any one has a fix. I had my tmp's mounted on local disks on
    each member like the cluster admin manual chpt. 11 mentions. Then I had a
    hardware
    failure on one of the local disks so I moved my tmp disks out to the shared
    bus, off an XP128, and then I ran into problems. Seems that if tmp is on the
    shared bus if one member goes down the other member will mount it. Using
    cfsmgr I can see it mounted on the other member, but it was unassigned. When
    the boot member came back up it couldn't mount tmp and it panic'd.

    Is there a way to have tmp on the shared disks, but be only accessible by
    one member? I'm using an XP128 so I can't define the connections like you
    can on the HSG80's.

    Thanks,
