[Linux-cluster] Quorum disk over RAID software device

[brem belguebli]

Rafael,

What ou have to take care about is the following.

Imagine your SAN admin modifies the wrong zoning while doing his job,
making the qdisk (both legs) unavailable for your nodes, and at this
time you have one node off because of maintenance operation, your
whole cluster would go down.
