Actually this RA waits for the sync to complete.  If it takes longer than the allotted time-out, Pacemaker SIGTERM/SIGKILLs it.  The issue is if it can never complete in the allotted time frame, my cluster is basically not servicing any other resources that may have failed until this original resource can resolve itself or a failover occurs.
