Hello!

I've found this interesting article: http://magazine.redhat.com/2007/12/19/enhancing-cluster-quorum-with-qdisk/
According to it, I can enhance cluster quorum with qdisk. How do you think is it good idea to use qdisk with non-two_nodes cluster and assign more than 1 vote for qdisk (as it's described in "Quorum Disk (QDisk): An oldie but goodie" chapter)? I wonder 'cause it's exactly my situation: I'm going to have cluster with 4 nodes and I don't wanna lose quorum when half of nodes failed.

IMHO, qdisk adds additional complexity, which can be easily avoided by using 5 nodes ...
 
Thanks, dietmar! Is it safe to just remove qdiskd from cluster.conf?
