Yep that's a split brain. If expected_votes was set (correctly) to 2
then you wouldn't have quorum. /never/ set expected_votes to 1 on a real
system. "cman_tool join" will set it to the total number of nodes in
ccsd so check you have the same custer.conf file on both nodes.

I worry that your syslog still names the host "localhost", that might
easily be a network misconfiguration which would cause nodes not to be
able to see each other.

Are you sure this is up-to-date ? creating a lockspace hasn't been an
ioctl operation for months now.
