Because you aren't using OpenAIS, apparently. Heartbeat (or CCM,
rather), for two node clusters,pretends that even in a 1:1 split
situation, each side has quorum. That is "safe", because resource
integrity is still protected via fencing/STONITH.

Yet, it is also not true per se, because _exactly_ 50% is not majority.

OpenAIS adheres more strictly according to that definition of quorum,
hence the option needs to be set to "ignore".

(OpenAIS - or rather its next version of the infrastructure, called
"corosync" - gains a more powerful quorum framework which will allow the
plugin of tie-breaker modules such as a scsi reservation etc.)
