If you need instructions now:

http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/cluster/cman/man/qdisk.5?rev=1.2&content-type=text/plain&cvsroot=cluster

The above is a section 5 man page; includes all relevant information for
setting up qdisk.  Note that QDisk has not been included in any official
release yet, so you will have to build qdisk from CVS to get it running.

Save it to disk and look at it with 'less'; e.g.:

$ less qdisk.5
