[gpfsug-discuss] Is GPFS starting NSDs automatically?

[Jan-Frode Myklebust]

If you do a "mmchconfig restripeOnDiskFailure=yes", such a callback will be
added for node-join events. That can be quite useful for stretched
clusters, where you want to replicate all blocks to both locations, and
this way recover automatically.
