Interesting. Now what is the point of having a separate supervisor
instead of the two nodes supervising each other? lack of stonith?

So you have two host servers connected to the array in a failover
configuration? If this isn't the case would you mind explaining how
you have it setup to account for a host failing?
Yes, that's how we have it. The client machines mount the primary's
NFS exports, and the secondary just sits there until needed.
A third "supervisor" machine watches heartbeats and if the primary
fails, it aliases the secondary's NICs with the IPs of the failed
primary via an ssh command. When the clients reconnect, they connect
to the secondary server.
The supervisor can watch multiple 2-server clusters since it's not very
busy. It ain't pretty, but it works.
