anyone ever try logging messages to shared disk on a Broker running on linux (or any unix) cluster? We have messaging working fine locally based on adding a line to syslog.conf:
user.* /var/mqsi/WMB.log
But when I try to redirect to a log that is mounted on shared disk:
user.* /MQHA/QMGR/data/WMBfiles/WMB.log
It works fine until the cluster fails over to the other node. Then I have to restart syslogd 2x before it starts logging broker messages again. I suppose I could script a syslogd restart every time the cluster moves, but was wondering if I am missing something obvious here?

Probably you'll have to restart syslog.
You could try the newer syslog-ng which may work in another way.

Have your tried making the

/var/log/WMB a soft link to the file on the shared volume?

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions.

I had tried links already, should've mentioned that. Didn't help, but thanks for the idea.
