Hi,

When one node crashes, gfs2 should prevent any new locks
from being taken until the node it properly fenced and
the journal recovered.  This can appear as a freeze or
lockup, and it is done intentionally to preserve data integrity.
The other nodes should not crash and if they do, they should
leave console messages stating what happened.
