Yes, I have simulate this scenario by 2 steps.
1. Let o2net timeout in the joining node.(this node number is bigger 
than the mounted one.)
    The joining node will fence. And after its fence, no other node can 
join the domain include himself.
    The mounted one hang when the "umount" is called.
After the modification, it goes well.
2. Let o2net timeout in the joining node.(this node number is less than 
the mounted one.) The mounted one will reboot and the joining node mount 
the volume. After the mounted one reboot, it can join the domain. So the 
old code handle this issue successfully.
