[ClusterLabs] ClusterLabs.Org Documentation Problem?

Thanks for the reply. Yes, it's a bit confusing. I did end up using the documentation for Corosync 2.X since that seemed newer, but it also assumed CentOS/RHEL7 and systemd-based commands. It also incorporates cman, pcsd, psmisc, and policycoreutils-pythonwhich, which are all new to me. If there is anything I can do to assist with getting the documentation cleaned up, I'd be more than glad to help.

The page actually offers a third option ... "Pacemaker 1.1 for CMAN or Corosync 1.x". That's the configuration used by CentOS 6.

However, that's still a bit misleading; the documentation set for "Pacemaker 1.1 for Corosync 2.x" is the only one that is updated, and it's mostly independent of the underlying layer, so you should prefer that set.

I plan to reorganize that page in the coming months, so I'll try to make it clearer.
