Hi,

Summary: Two node cluster running DRBD, IET with a floating IP and stonith 
enabled.

All this works well, I can kernel panic the machine, kill individual PIDs (for 
example IET)
which then invoke failover.  However, when I forkbomb the master, nothing 
happens.
The box is dead, the services stop responding etc, but pacemaker does not 
recognise
this and therefore failover does not occur.

Very occasionally it will fence and invoke failover after several minutes or 
even longer,
which is no good at all.

To me, it seems extremely odd pacemaker itself does not automatically 
incorporate system
health checks that can detect such a scenario.  I've raised this a couple of 
times, but the
suggestion is to run watchdog or create an RA to do resource checking.  
Watchdog certainly
does its job and is easy to configure, but this seems flawed to me.

Regards,
James
