Yup, just did. Some minor things were broken with the fs metadata. But 
when I reboot, I still get a similar message when HALd loads. I wonder if 
I can safely switch that off - assuming that's causing it...

Now, in theory, I should be able to bring up another node on the same file 
system. All I would need to do is clone the /boot partition to the other 
box, and it should just come up.

What do I need to do to achieve this, and can it all be done with the one 
node that is already running? I'm assuming that I'll have to do something 
like:

mount --bind /cluster/cdsl/4/ /cdsl.local/

As far as unsharing things under /var, I _think_ only /var/lock actually 
needs to be unshared. Can I do this with the running image with:

com-mkcdsl -r / -a /var/lock

?

Thanks.
