Shouldn’t we expect to see the qdisk votes reported in “Total_votes” from cman (see cman_tool below). If we have four nodes with 1 vote each and a qdisk configured with 1 vote (see cluster.conf snippet below) shouldn’t we see a total vote count of 5? With the qdisk config shown below I would expect to be able to sustain a loss of 2 out of 4 nodes and still have quorum but in fact the loss of 2 nodes dissolves quorum every time, effectively locking the cluster.
