to recap my problem, from an earlier post:

I just performed a test which failed miserably. I have two nodes (node 2 
and node 3) and did a test of a nic failure and expected a fencing race 
with a good outcome. The good node did not attempt to fence the bad node 
(although the bad one did make an attempt as expected). At the same time 
it also did not take over the service ( really bad ).
...

Only after I reconnected the nic's cable did it reject the improperly 
joining node (good) and recover the service (too late). Normal luci two 
node configuration. It's broken. From a prior post of "Service Recovery 
Failure" thread:

How do I turn up the verbosity of fenced? I'll repeat the test. The only 
mention I can find is -D but I don't know how I can use that. I'll 
browse the source and see if I can learn anything. I'm using 2.0.73.
...

The failover failed. My fence_apc hack worked great. If I could turn up 
verbosity of fenced I would continue trying to figure this out. It's 
possible that if I stopped the cluster, rebooted everything and then 
brought the cluster back up then my test might succeed. But I still 
can't trust it for production.

Several others have said 4.5 and 4.6 work great for them but 5.0 and 5.1 
malfunction.
