It is kinda problematic with flatiron. I believe so, but Honza has been working on that portion of the code and should be able to answer details better.

Hmmm I will need to check explicitly on what the code does if you try to set it lower than active nodes (I didn't write all the code FYI), but IIRC you can't really set it lower. As for blocking it even further down, that might be problematic when used in combination with expected_votes override and removing nodes. Since this override feature has been approved only yesterday, I'll need a few days to look into the corner cases and gotchas. Mostly we need to make sure we don't introduce windows for total breakage :) Fabio _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.corosync.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
