Quorum, in case you didn't know, means enough machines are participating in the cluster that it can safely become active. (In other words, quorate is sort of an adjectival form for quorum.) We usually apply the word "quorum" to meeting, to indicate that enough deciding or voting members are present for a body of people to hold the meeting, or take action. If there's no direct translation, you could also translate this from equivalent English: "...but cluster has not reached quorum." "...until cluster reaches quorum..." Hope this helps. -- Paul W.
