Why does cman adjust expected votes when they are set to 1?
Issue
-
Configured a cluster with greater than 2 nodes and set expected_votes=1
-
Goal is for cluster to work with only 1 up if the rest are down
- However, upon testing it seems as though cluster is recalculating quorum thus resulting in the cluster becoming inquorate if more than half the nodes are down
