RE: cfengine failover on copy does not seem to work as documented

[Nielsen, Steve]

I agree that failover should only trigger on error conditions. Is that
what you mean (how I am interpreting what you say below)?

I was hoping to find out from Mark if this is how its intended to work
(only failover on network reachability) or if this is a bug  or
oversight ?

Mark any comments ?

Steve

I'd rather have it simply triggered when we have any result other than 
either a sucessful copy *or* the copy is not attempted.   That would 
also catch things like "server up, file found but unreadable" (happens 
when you are reading from an NFS server with root squashed).
