Same experience.
In addition, best practice is to make the quorum partition its own
physical disk, and admittedly this is not best practice, but instead
took a slice of SAN RAID so as not to waste a whole precious disk plus
one for mirroring for what is essentially a 20MB partition - and fibre
traffic would upset Qdiskd's vote.
Again, what I was doing was not best practice, and if a qdisk partition
is needed it's definitely worth the two physical disks.
In conclusion, no, I wouldn't use ping heuristics.
what if you use a dedicated and separated network for cluster communication (and heuristic)
transferring a big file over the data interfaces should not make any effect in the internal network
even a crossover cable could/should help here
and you should have a very slow switch/network if by transferring a single file, although big, make you lose ping packages
thanks
