A message, that makes the user believe, something is not working
properly, even though this is not true, is a defect. A Failover
Situation is not an Error from the user perspective, it is an event
only relevant to the Administrator. The maximum, the user should be
informed about is, that a slight delay in services is about to happen.

Sorry, my fault.

ok. But adding just a Retry Button to the Error Message with a
recommendation to wait 15 seconds would be a great improvement and and
easy to implement.

None that I konw of. The question is, who will be first, the OSS World
or the MS World.

I would be interested in a "non strange" HA concept for this sort of
problem. A HA concept for recovering from failures (even unnoticable
to the user) is easy in many cases and works even without changing
samba specifications for example. A HA concept, that simply forbids
failures to happen is difficult, expensive, hardwaredependent and
incompatible with almost everything.

 Patrick

Patrick, thank you for adding comments.

I apologize, but I cannot determine what the problem is.

You've included a piece of some on going conversation, but
unfortunately the people who will review this issue will not know what
the past history is.

Please list step by step instructions to consistently reproduce this
issue.

I complained about the error message when saving while samba is down.
This situation is an expected one, if a failover in a HA cluster is
happening. The end user should not be botherd with such an event, but
a retry Button with a recommendation to wait 15 seconds seems
acceptable to mee.

This is Bug 7901 alias 7902 alias 7903 alias 7904. Additionaly, this
is a crash bug under Windows, while it is more of a feature request
under linux in others opinion.

I dont know, why there are many numbers for the same bug. I
resubmitted, becuase submission was refused. I suppose, that was the
problem.

Regards
 Patrick
