In either case (quorum *or* quota), fencing is still required, as there's no assurance that a rogue node can't flush buffers. Fencing *forcefully* prevents nodes from flushing any outstanding buffers to disk after we've declared them out of the cluster, regardless of the membership/quorum model used. -- Lon -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
