I had an additional comment here, Can we have arbiter 2/3/n? If so the count after the arbiter makes sense (i.e retaining the '1'), if not then we should drop the number there, and just call this an arbiter (or some such) volume type. If retained for future multiple arbiter cases, then it is fine. > > See [1] for some discussions.
