[Pacemaker] votequorum for 2 node cluster

[Kostiantyn Ponomarenko]

Thank you for the explanation. I got the point.
But just to be sure, and maybe someone will find this info helpful, wanna
clarify this two options behavior.
>From the http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/saucy/man5/votequorum.5.html
about last_man_standing option:

       NOTES: In order for the cluster to downgrade automatically from 2 nodes
       to a 1 node cluster, the auto_tie_breaker feature must also be enabled.

       If auto_tie_breaker is not enabled, and one more failure


       occurs, the remaining node will not be quorate.


But this is still a roulette - you can lose only the node which
doesn't have the lowest nodeid?

Am I right?



Thank you,
Kostya
