When fenced goes to fence a failed node, it waits 10s before actually killing it. That applies to all nodes that fail. > So, the workaround that you propose is to be used only this way : > 1. a node has crashed and was about to dump but has been fenced. > 2. patch the post_fail_delay > 3. re-start CS4 on both nodes > 4. wait for a new crash and dump, and in this case, the failover > will take at least the post_fail_delay value. I'm not sure what you mean by this, but it doesn't sound right. post_fail_delay would be added permanently to cluster.conf which is the same on all nodes... you don't change it.
