[Linux-cluster] Fencing deadlock under Cluster Suite v4, how to solve?

[Riaan van Niekerk]

qdisk is part of newersions of cman. "man qdisk" is the best source of 
information (that I am aware of) for the new quorum disk functionality.

Unfortunately the Cluster Suite docs have not been updated with the 
qdisk subsystem. However, the CS update 4 release notes mention it.

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/csgfs/

slighly off topic rant: unfortunately it is very difficult to tell when 
Red Hat update their documentation. At the above link, there is a red 
"(Updated)" if something is updated recently, but "recently" is a very 
vague term. I have even submitted Bugzilla Bug 195890: RFE "(Updated)" 
and "(New)" labels in documentation should have dates without success.
