Is --failnode evaluated for the MGS? We seem to do fine without it as any client
requires explicit configuration of the MGS failnode anyway. Or is it possible
to override this configuration with the value set on the MGS?

--mgsnode=192.168.123.20 at tcp0 --mgsnode=192.168.123.21 at tcp0 --mdt /dev/sdc

Daniel.
