Hello, I would like to know if a 0 quorum/quorate is possible.
I have the following setup and would expect nodes to be on for longer periods in the future but for now chances are they will be off over night and potentially only on when needed.
Setup:
I have set the votes in a way that just the router can function solo and given the other vote to the next likely node.
I am wondering if it is safe to set all votes to 0?
Basically I want the backup router to be able to function solo (or I could remove it from the cluster and rebuild it but would prefer to keep it in the cluster).
The sole reason for the cluster if ease of management - I do not use any HA or anything like that.
Mainly used for all nodes in one GUI and guest migration.
Potentially I have two additional nodes to add to the cluster and would like to understand this better as it might be better to have a separate cluster of 3 if a zero quorum is not possible.
If anyone is wondering why so many NAS' - I have 12 external drives (all micro pcs with not enough internal storage)
Thanks.

Setup:
| Use | Always on | Quorum/Votes | |
| 1 - V.Router | Virtual router / DNS / VPN (and similar services) | yes | 2 | |
| 2 | Virtual NAS / download box / MC server | almost always | 1 | |
| 3 | Virtual NAS / TBD | no | 0 | |
| 4 | Virtual NAS / TBD | no | 0 | |
| 5 - backup V.Router | if node one goes down - or for prolonged maintenance on node 1 | no | 0 |
