What he said.  With qdisk, you can have the node declare itself unfit
for cluster operation when bond0 or bond1 loses link; something like:

<quorumd min_score="2" votes="2" status_file="/tmp/qdisk_status_info">
   <heuristic program="ping -c1 -t1 <bond0 router>" score="1"
interval="2"/>
   <heuristic program="ping -c1 -t1 <bond1 router>" score="1"
interval="2"/>
</quorumd>

You could use more complex link monitoring (like the stuff
in /usr/share/cluster/ip.sh) if you wanted, but this gives you the basic
idea.

The idea here is that if bond0 *or* bond1 loses link, qdiskd declares
the node unfit (min_score = 2, and each route is 1 point, so loss of
either => fatal).  A feature was added after the initial release of
qdiskd to reboot the node on loss of required score (previously, it
would cause the node to become inquorate and block activity).
