Re: eSATA Cluster Support?

Cluster cares about Basic disks and those disks being on a shared SCSI
bus or Fiber attached. Can this eSATA solution be on a shared bus for
all nodes in your cluster? This does not sound like a good idea to me
at all. The quorum disk does not require much disk space and you
already must have significant hardware for the cluster so I do not see
the value in eSATA. You are using a "High Availability" solution,
cutting corners on your quorum drive does not make sense to me.

Best of luck.
