So if old master is still booting (for ex., fs check in progress) and 
hasn't running corosync - slave will become a master, and data that 
wasn't replicated to slave will be lost?
This isn't too critical in most cases (except when one node is crashed 
and after some time all nodes will be rebooted due to power failure), 
but is there a possibility to avoid this behavior?
