I tried it (on openSUSE Tumbleweed which is what I have at hand, it has
SBD 1.3.0) and with SBD_DELAY_START=yes sbd does not appear to watch
disk at all. First, at startup no slot is allocated for a node at all
(confirmed with "sbd list"). I manually allocated slots for both nodes,
then I see that stonith agent does post "reboot" message (confirmed with
"sbd list" again) and sbd never reacts to it. Even after system reboot
message on disk is not cleared.

Removing SBD_DELAY_START and restarting pacemaker (with implicit SBD
restart) immediately cleared pending messages.
