Yes, that does the trick. Thank you (for helping me make my cluster as 
unsafe as I want it to be :)

In my mind, with two nodes, a cloud passes over the moon for a second, 
it goes momentarily dark, and when the light comes back both nodes are 
found dead of gunshot wounds, even though they're both holding hands 
over the shared storage fire with SBD. But that's a separate problem.

Yes, and I guess it would also cause problems if we used CLVM with 
exclusive locks.

Thanks again.
