Hi,
Pardon me for jumping in subj, but...
Could you explain me in a few words or give a link where to read about
"split-brain"?
I made a lab: cluster (virt and gluster services both) based on two server.
With this options:
cluster.server-quorum-type none
cluster.quorum-type fixed
cluster.quorum-count 1
I get a cluster that worked just fine even with only one host alive.
I have run VM on a not SPM host B, have made some files, then on the SPM
host A have stoped network service (host has gone, no power management),
have made some huge files on the VM again, after that I have rebooted
manualy the host A and there was no unexpected result. VM have worked
without problem, I have rebooted the VM several times and there were no
problems with any files I have made before.
I want to build a cluster with only two hosts, because I have only two good
servers free, and only 8x3TB HDD (for RAID10 in each host). To get one more
server and 4HDD is unbelievable in a close future..
Thanks.

It works also with just two hosts but it's not that safe: a replica-2
GlusterFS volume affected by a split-brain issue could be not self-healing
while with replica-3 you could rely on quorum enforcement just cause you
are using an odd host number.
For oVirt 3.6 we are working on
