That's a good cause, but why do you think that the data is
jeopardized. I mean, if the node is healthy and if it says that
it doesn't have the disks mounted I suppose that you could
trust it. That's why fencing is by default done only in case a
resource can't be stopped. Of course, it is another matter if you
think that the resource agents may lie or that something else in
the setup can't be trusted.

Thanks,

Dejan
