thank you,

why would we need a full corosync instance on RPI at all when it's not
supported and Qdevice is the better way for quorum ?

i.e. who is using full corosync on RPI at all and for what besides
quorum/whitness device?

i there a real purpose/benefit or does that wiki page simply describe
the "old way to go before qdevice did exist" ?

Using one with Qdevice and the corosync-qnetd service installed on it
is fine. See our documentation for it [0].

I updated the warning on the Wiki page to make it clearer why that
wiki page needs to be considered with care.

hello,

on this page https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Raspberry_Pi_as_third_node
there is told:

"Raspberry Pi as third node - This is only suited for testing or homelab
use. Never use it in a production environment! Simply use a QDevice!""

On https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Roadmap  for Proxmox 5.4 there is the
following announcement:

QDevice support via `pvecm`

  * primarily for small 2-node clusters adding a qdevice can help
    mitigate the downside of not being able to reboot one node without
    losing quorum (and thus the ability to make any changes in the
    cluster) ** Can also help in clusters with a larger even number of
    nodes by providing a tie-break vote.
  * Integration into pvecm and PVE stack vastly simplifies adding a
    qdevice (it was possible manually before as well)


my question is why there is  information around which looks like
discouraging rasperry pi as third node for quorum, i.e.  is a raspberry
pi with Qdevice  (
->https://blog.jenningsga.com/proxmox-keeping-quorum-with-qdevices/ )
suitable for production use or not ?
