I think ben already responded to your second question. Just to make sure all of the questions in 2 are answered -- -

In this case, the server_1 should shutdown knowing that its disconnected from the others and does not have a majority to carry on. So c_1 should reconnect to some other active server and nd_1 should not be deleted. > Is /nd_1 automatically deleted ? > What happens if server_1 regions the rest of the group ? > what happens to /nd_1 then ? I don't really understadn the question, but is it that both c_1 and s_1 are in a network partition and the other servers are in a different one? If that's the case then c_1 would not be able to reconnect to any of the active servers and thus nd_1 would get deleted. > > Thanks. > > > I hope this helps mahadev
