[Cluster-devel] [PATCH 1/2] fence_scsi: move key file to /var/run/cluster

[Fabio M. Di Nitto]

Only one comment here, before attempting to read or write to
/var/run/cluster, your script needs to make sure that the directory
exists (same for the other patch).

/var/run/cluster is created only via cman init at the moment and if
fence_scsi is used outside that context, it will fail on distribution
where /var/run is on tmpfs and cluster/ does not exists.

some distributions are deploying methods to populate
/var/run/some_dir_name at boot time, but they are not consistent enough
to be trusted to behave all the same way yet.
