When you add a node to the cluster, expected_votes is adjusted to be the higher value of all cluster nodes. If you want to lock down expected_votes then you need to override it in cluster.conf otherwise it will be calculated by cman_tool to be the sum of the votes of all the nodes in that file. -- patrick -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
