[rabbitmq-discuss] Can someone please confirm the clustered durable queue behavior?

[Eugene Vasilchenko]

In case someone stumbles here looking for an answer. (Not sure why it 
wasn't posted here)

Thanks to Matthias the answer is as follows:

The old master rejoins the cluster as a slave with an empty and 
unsynchronized queue and catches up to the current master. This is of 
course unless all nodes go down, then the last disc node to go down should 
be brought back up in order to get the messages that were persisted to disc.
