Pacemaker won't indicate that the 3rd disk
of your 8-disk RAID 6 is broken, either.
But yes, I argued your point of view before myself as well.
crm_mon -L will list negative location constraints
("xyz prevents foo from running on bla").
DRBD and complaints like yours were the reason I implemented that.
Also pacemaker learned about "degraded, but OK" monitoring
status return codes (OCF_DEGRADED, OCF_DEGRADED_MASTER),
intended purpose exactly only to "allow crm_mon to flash warning lights"
(or any other consumer of the status section).
Main reason for introducing these was, again, DRBD,
and complaints like yours.
We just don't use those exit codes in our RA yet.
Nor does anyone else, afaik. It has not even made it into
ocf-returncodes in resource-agents yet.
Probably, because they don't work, yet:
even though CRMD and the policy engine and later consumers
would treat them OK-ish (I think),
LRMD choses to "filter" exit codes in ocf2uniform(),
"just in case", so they will never make it back to CRMD
I may have forgotten to file an issue there :-/
