I was under the impression that the idea of STONITH predates Linux-HA, and that their implementation was named after the design concept. Seems like that should appear in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.80.164.250 (talk) 21:13, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. HPUX had this feature at least in 1990 as a basic part of their HA package called Serviceguard. See http://h30507.www3.hp.com/t5/Mission-Critical-Computing-Blog/21st-Birthday-of-HP-Serviceguard-Brings-Integration-Advances-for/ba-p/98443 (viewed 18 Feb 2014). Thus the idea that Linux-HA first implemented it in 1999 is demonstrably incorrect. Now - do we need to add a line attributing it to HPUX until an earlier release can be shown? 15.203.233.78 (talk) 21:30, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
