I am testing ctdb with 2 nodes on one computer with 2 IP addresses.  I get this message in the ctdb log file:

2008/03/23 19:56:23.473155 [ 3646]: Warning: wierd character in interface `eth0:0' (No aliases, :, ! or *).

I made a copy of my /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 file and named it , /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0:0
I only changed the device name in it from DEVICE=eth0 to DEVICE=eth0:0.

I then ran ifconfig to bring it up:
ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.2.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255

I then was able to ping 192.168.2.200 successfully, but got the above warning when trying to run ctdb with 2 nodes: my localhost(192.168.2.6) and the other one.

Here is the list of messages relevant to it in my ctdb log file:
