our NetOps guys are apparently using the quorum drive to transfer data to our warm DR site.
Oh my, that is horrid cluster design. Nothing but nothing should ever go onto the quorum.
The quorum drive is only responding to what is changing on the SAN drives.
Shouldn't be doing that. There should be no impact on the quorum from the other drives. It's not a staging drive for other cluster drives, all it should be is there to 'arbitrate' ownership of the cluster
