Too many open file descriptors?
lsof might show something interesting

Unfortunately not.

It seems that corosync doesn't spawn anything else, which is causing
this issue:

So I compared the /etc/ais/openais.conf in non-sp1 with
/etc/corosync/corosync.conf from sp1 and found this bit missing which
could be quite useful...

service {
        # Load the Pacemaker Cluster Resource Manager
        ver:       0
        name:      pacemaker
        use_mgmtd: yes
        use_logd:  yes
}

Added it and it works. Doh.

It seems the example corosync.conf that is shipped won't start
pacemaker, I'm not sure if that's on purpose or not, but I found it a
bit confusing after being used to it 'just working' previously.
