RE: [Linux-cluster] Why my cluster stop to work when one node down?

["MARTI, ROBERT JESSE" <RJM002 shsu edu>]

Speaking of...

If I already have a cluster set up that split brained itself (but the services are still running on one, and it wont un-split brain with the other box up...) how hard would it be to add a quorum disk?

I guess I could post my whole problem and let smarter people figure out what I broke.

You're welcome. :)

Yes, it's the minimum number of nodes required for the cluster to start. 
This is (n+1)/2, round up number of nodes defined in cluster.conf. This ensures that the cluster can't split-brain. In the 2-node case this needs to be adjusted which is what the two_node parameter does. There's higher risk of splitbrain, though, but you can use tie-breakers of some sort.
