What else you can do if you lose connection with your peer but everything
else's just fine. ;)

If there is a pingable node.
I used to put stonith with a pingd resource, which updates in a rather high
frequency. Then pingd will then detect the lost before heartbeat, and stop
the stonith resource accordingly. It's tricky cause sometimes you may need
different pingd instance for different purpose.

Of course, it'll be far better to have ping/disk/blahblah based quorum plugin
in the future. ;)
