Morning, When using manual fencing you will have to ack the manual fence on the remaining machine. Once this is complete, the remaining node will grab the failed nodes journal and play it back. You will then regain access to the file system.

When one of the nodes (B) goes down, the other one (A) is unable to access the fs. A, nevertheless, "notes" that B went down and removes it from the cluster, but any access to the GFS locks. Any clues?
