It's a bit of a terminology problem, but it boils to the same
thing. Fencing a resource means building a fence around it as
your sf-ex does. Fencing a node is done by bringing it down so
that it can't connect to any resource anymore. Stonith is used
only on the node level.

I'll try to test it and take a look at the code. There was also
some longish discussion on the list about it, which I didn't
follow very closely. Were there any technical issues unresolved?
Does anybody use sf-ex?

There's another big contribution of yours in the queue: procd.
Since it depends on both the CRM and heartbeat and since the two
are not anymore in the same development tree we'll have to fix
the Makefile and most probably the include statements.

Great :) Not many women around.
