I'm setting up a simple 5 node "cluster" basically just for using a

I'm not really concerned about HA, I just want to be able to have all

In my thinking this sets up a cluster where only one node need be up to
have quorum, and manual fencing is done for each node.
However, when I start up the first node in the cluster, the fencing
daemon hangs complaining about not being able to fence the other nodes.
I have to run fence_ack_manual -n <nodename> for all the other nodes,
then things start up fine.
Is there a way to make the node just assume all the other nodes are
fine and start up? Am I really running much risk of the GFS2
filesystem failing out?
Thanks,
Ray
