Hmm, so the the quorum disk information is not reported via the cman
socket API.  So, for example, "clustat" never shows it.

The /proc/cluster/nodes file doesn't follow the same code path so it
seems.

The fact that it does not appear on one of the nodes is strange
(in /proc/cluster/nodes).  I would expect it to show up on all of them
after ~10-15 seconds of run-time of qdiskd.
