Ah - well, for sake of barking up the right tree, here is a snippet of
the logs of l2 after l3 was halted, and before making any changes to the
DRBD configuration:

I am not sure this reveals much, but chances are you will see something
I don't! ;-)

Yes, that is perfectly sensible. 

Perhaps my (still-in-testing) production cluster's problem will be a bit
simpler, then?  The DRBD resource there is actually operated in
single-primary mode on a two-node cluster, because it is served up over
iSCSI to another cluster of machines.  DLM/OCFS2 do not operate on the
DRBD/iSCSI host cluster, only on the iSCSI client cluster.  So, in this
case, would the crm-fence-peer.sh then be sufficient for the DRBD
cluster nodes?

Sadness...not found on Ubuntu 12.04.  They are providing v8.3.11.  I
will check with them...

Thanks!!
