Typically they have STONITH too. It's probably too simple minded to just replace a real cluster setup which also handles split brain and other conditions. So it's purely against mistakes. Besides relying on it would seem dangerous because it is not synchronous and you could do a lot of damage in 5 seconds. The rationale of the lazy writing would be that at least in usual operation super block should be written regularly and with 5 seconds delay just being a not fully reliable heuristic it probably doesn't matter if the possible delay is a little longer even. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
