[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ - strange synchronization behavior

[Peter Sokolowski]

Hi

I have a small RabbitMQ cluster with two nodes(CentOS, RabbitMQ 3.1.5,
Erlang R15B, 2GB ram). Mirroring and synchronization is on.

When I restart one of the nodes(by "stop_app" and "start_app" from the
commandline)  the whole cluster is blocked. It doesn't accept any
publish and receive operations during synchronization stage. When
synchronization is finished everything get back to normal - cluster
accepts publish and receive operations.
Is this behavior normal?
