[torqueusers] Questions about pbs_server --ha

[Victor Gregorio]

Hello Ken,

Thanks for the reply.  I have a third system which exports NFS storage
for both pbs_servers' /var/spool/torque/server_priv.  For now, there is
no NFS redundancy.

    * export options: *(rw,sync,no_root_squash)
    * mount options on both pbs_servers: bg,intr,soft,rw
