Hi,
I really don't catch the thing between "no-quorum-policy" value and the
probability of "race to stonith" ... For me, if there is a problem on 
the whole
heartbeat network (so for all nodes in the cluster), whatever the number 
of healthy nodes
(with quorum or not) , there will be a race to stonith .
Could you  explain to me my misunderstanding ?

Moreover, in a two-nodes cluster, I think that "no-quorum-policy=ignore" 
is mandatory,
otherwise failover will not be possible ... right or not ?

Thanks.
Alain
