[Linux-cluster] Repeated fencing

Can you give me a little info about "split-brain" issues?  I don't
understand what you mean by that, and what I'm solving with a
quorumdisk.  And it has always worked fine, it just started happening
after the install of this newer kernel/gfs module.  The other 2 node
cluster is still rock solid.  Also, the network interfaces on the
crossover are full duplex.  Thanks for writing back, you're the first
person who offered anything.
