Hello, In spite of having 'fence_tool leave' and 'cman_tool leave remove' in the 'cman' init script, when stopping the five-member cluster, it looses quorum when only two machines run the cluster components: root@web1:~# cman_tool status Version: 6.0.1 Config Version: 6 Cluster Name: kfki Cluster Id: 1583 Cluster Member: Yes Cluster Generation: 748 Membership state: Cluster-Member Nodes: 2 Expected votes: 5 Total votes: 2 Quorum: 3 Activity blocked Active subsystems: 7 Flags: Ports Bound: 0 11 Node name: web1-gfs Node ID: 4 Multicast addresses: 224.0.0.3 Node addresses: 192.168.192.6 root@web1:~# cman_tool nodes Node Sts Inc Joined Name 1 X 728 lxserv0-gfs 2 M 728 2007-08-31 09:19:09 lxserv1-gfs 3 X 728 web0-gfs 4 M 724 2007-08-31 09:18:48 web1-gfs 5 X 728 saturn-gfs '/etc/init.d/cman stop' was issued and executed successfully on the tree other nodes.
