# qdiskd(8)

Cluster Quorum Disk Daemon

## NAME

qdiskd - Cluster Quorum Disk Daemon

## SYNOPSIS

**qdiskd \[-f\] \[-d\]**

## DESCRIPTION

**The qdiskd daemon talks to CMAN and provides a mechanism for determining** **node-fitness in a cluster environment.  See** **[qdisk(5)](/qdisk/5.md)** **for configuration information.**

## OPTIONS

- \-f

  **Run in the foreground (do not fork / daemonize).**

- \-d

  **Enable debug output.**

- \-Q

  **Close stdin/out/err immediately before doing validations.  This** **is primarily for use when being called from an init script.  Using** **this option will stop all output, and can not be used with the -d**  **option.**
