I ran drbd on top of Redhat GFS but ran into the same problem with fencing and only having 2 nodes in the cluster.  It looks like Redhat may have a solution for small clusters called QDisk but I haven't had time to play with it.

My apologies for the threadjack yesterday.

What I would like to know, is anyone using GFS on top of DRBD?

If so are you using the cluster tools inside of RHCS?

Also, how do you mitigate a failure situation, more in reference to
regaining Consistency and Fencing of a node?

I have GFS running on DRBD without issue right now, but I am having
trouble recovering from a network disconnect or reboot of a node in a
mock failure situation.

Is there a way with the GFS setup to keep one node online after a
failure?

Thanks,

Doug
