If you're looking at GFS, then this arrangement is almost definitely going to fry the data in the partition - which will take the system down for you permanently. Imagine that the 3 nodes lose communication (but all three are still running) - they're all going to reply the logs from the other two, and then start writing to the shared filesystem as if they were the only ones in the cluster. Which will corrupt the GFS very quickly. -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
