So far the leader tries to "ping" (not ICMP, a drbdmanage protocol ping) the satellites relatively often. That is done so that satellite nodes know who their leader is (they don't have that information otherwise). Too long TCP timeouts and a clumsy "always ping them even if you know the node is gone" lead to that behavior you describe. That was changed with a commit named "ping service: Don't hang if nodes leave", which should be in the next release, which should happen this week. Regards, rck
