We're running PostgreSQL as a backend to a J2SE server (with Macromedia
JRun instead of Tomcat). When we converted our Sun Enterprise servers into
a cluster (Veritas VCS) we had similar problems. We were using the "fast"
option on a shutdown, but switchover in the cluster would hang until we
changed the "fast" to "immediate". We'd prefer "fast", but it does not
seem to work exactly as documented.
Solaris 2.6, PostgreSQL 7.1.2, VCS 1.1.
