Hi Karli,

Thank you, I=E2=80=99m just exploring the storage abilities of my preferred O=
S - FreeBSD.=20

Three nodes are preferable to choose the quorum for sure, but my idea was no=
t to establish contacts between nodes. Instead of it, BQ uses a small partit=
ion for the =E2=80=9Cquorum=E2=80=9D on the same space where data volume is l=
ocated. And if a node looses access to the quorum it means, it looses access=
 to the data volume too. Now, BQ runs on both nodes and both BQ instances wr=
ite stamps to the quorum partition. If for any reason BQ on one node detects=
, the other node stops updating it=E2=80=99s stamps, it performs failover pr=
ocedure. It=E2=80=99s quite a questionable, rude way, I can agree, and that=E2=
=80=99s why I always write a warning to use the BeaST for testing only purpo=
ses.=20

Best regards,
Mike
