Maybe one step back to the CMAN algorithm: I have been looking for a comprehensive summary of the algorithm on how CMAN determines node failures (heartbeat *AND* quorum disk should show the node being "up"?) and how votes are calculated. But I could not find it. I'm afraid it is not clear what the role the <quorumd> votes play: are they only calculated on each node or are the votes stored on the quorum disk and read by other nodes? -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xxxxxx> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
