[Linux-cluster] Problem with fenced on 2 node cluster

[Brad Filipek]

Lon,
 
Thanks for your response. I didn't realize that /sbin/fenced should be running at all times. During an actual fence action, I do see fence_apc show up so this all sounds normal, right?

fenced should stay running at all times... did you mean it's stuck in an
infinite loop?

fenced spawns agents - such as 'fence_apc' - which should only be
present during a fencing operation.  If those stay around for a long
time, there's a problem.
