Because we know what is its name, let me ask you about Inc signification, how 
can be interpreted and what represent 8 and 4 in above column... 8m, 8pps, 
8kbps, 8kv, womans, mans, aliens? In manual and documentation is absolutely 
missing any info about Inc column!

And another question: why numbers in Inc column is changing everytime a node 
is rebooted and remain constant till next reboot?

[root at rs2 ~]# cman_tool nodes
Node  Sts   Inc   Joined               Name
   1   M     24   2008-07-30 13:11:23  192.168.113.5
   2   M     12   2008-07-30 13:02:48  192.168.113.4
[root at rs2 ~]#

after a reboot, INC contain 24 and 12 values (last values as you see above, 
was 8 and 4). what represent?
