Consolidation of disk heartbeating
*One Line Summary
We have three disk heartbeats systems; let's not.
Abstract
ocfs2’s internal cluster stack, o2cb, has a disk heartbeat process named o2hb. Corosync clusters based on cman use qdiskd. Corosync clusters using pacemaker used sbd.
The ocfs2 team recently enhanced o2hb to support “global” heartbeat regions. This compares to behavior provided by qdiskd and sbd, in some ways surpassing them.
Let us discuss the various capabilities, restrictions, and futures of these three heartbeat processes. The goal is to merge them into a single shared project we can all use and maintain.
