I should say we deal with the common startup race described in votequorum(5), 
whereby nodes that don’t come up are fenced once quorum is attained, by other 
means.

Subject: last_man_standing (LMS) and wait_for_all (WFA)
Hi,

In votequorum(5), discussing last_man_standing (LMS) and wait_for_all (WFA) 
with corosync-3.1.8-1.el8.x86_64, it says:


Enabling LMS allows the cluster to dynamically recalculate expected_votes and 
quorum under specific circumstances. It is essential to enable WFA when using 
LMS in High Availability clusters.

Why is that essential?

I have many, many clusters, and there will be times when a node is down because 
we need replacement parts or something similar, and the cluster must be 
rebooted (e.g. an OS update).

Thanks!
Olaf
