[Pacemaker] How can I wait for a device to be ready?

Hi.

I are doing some testes with OCFS2 running on a AOE shared disk.
The tests are going on a OpenSuse 12.3 with the following packages:
ocfs2-tools-o2cb-1.8.2-4.8.1.x86_64
ocfs2-tools-1.8.2-4.8.1.x86_64
corosync-1.4.3-4.1.1.x86_64
libcorosync4-1.4.3-4.1.1.x86_64
libopenais3-1.1.4-15.1.1.x86_64
openais-1.1.4-15.1.1.x86_64
aoetools-35-3.1.x86_64

Thinking about the availability of the device, I created a ping resource with the aim to get the filesystem mounted only after the
disk provider is available.

This is my test configuration and it works fine if I start the openais by hand after the system is up with all modules loaded.

However, if I let the machine reboot and start the openais during the boot process it wont work because the AOE disk is inserted on
the system way after the Pacemaker cluster get started and the ping resource is not holding the start process

So the question is, how can I make the Pacemaker wait for a device to be ready before trying to use it?

Carlos.
