[Linux-HA] Testing linux-ha

[Peter Clapham]

Hmm... not entirely sure how this helps but hey.. here you go feel  
free to try the following :-) (carefully !)


echo $foo > /proc/sysrq-trigger

where $foo=

s -> sync disks
b-> reboots kernel (does not un-sync mounts !)
u-> unmount

and the fun ones..

l -> kills all running processes....
o-> shutdown system
