That is what we have. The colocation constraints require mysql -> filesystem -> drbd master.

I'm just trying to avoid a condition where the mysql resource is running on node A, and Pacemaker thinks there is a "problem" with it on Node B. -Eric Disclaimer : This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for intended recipients.
