I thought with adding UUIDs sbd automatically detects a header change.
You're having a valid point here.
Actually a disk-init on an operational cluster should be
quite safe. (A very small race between header and slot
read does exist.)
Might make sense to think over taking the message back
or revising it.
Yan Gao just pointed me to the timeout configuration not being
updated if it changes in the header.
Guess until that is tackled one way or another the message
is a good idea.


Indeed, users may want to tune sbd in the runtime without restart the whole cluster stack, eg. watchdog timeout, msgwait timeout, etc. Currently, changing these timeouts will force users to recreate the sbd disk, that is a little strange user experience. And, restarting the whole cluster is a worse impression.

I can understand there are gaps currently, eg. to reinitialize watchdog driver timeout, and followed by a script to refresh pacemaker stonith-watchdog-timeout and stonith-timeout etc.

Furthermore, Can we change SBD_DEVICE in runtime even?

All in all, they add flexibilities to the management activities, and make the better user experience overall.

Thanks,
Roger
