DLM, the distributed lock manager provided by the cluster, is designed
to block when a known goes into an unknown state. It does not unblock
until that node is confirmed to be fenced. This is by design. GFS2,
rgmanager and clustered LVM all use DLM, so they will all block as well.
As for why two nodes get fenced, you will need to share more about your
configuration.
