[Pacemaker] [corosync] Corosync 2.1.0 dies on both nodes in cluster

Thu Nov 1 18:27:08 EDT 2012

Hi Angus, 

I'll try upgrading to the latest libqb tomorrow and see if I can reproduce this behavior with it. I was able to get a coredump by running corosync manually in the foreground (corosync -f): 
http://sources.xes-inc.com/downloads/corosync.coredump 

There still isn't anything added to /var/lib/corosync however. What do I need to do to enable the fdata file to be created? 

Thanks, 

Andrew

Do core dumps need to be enabled for the fdata-DATETIME-PID file to be generated? right now all that is in /var/lib/corosync are the ringid_XXX files. Do I need to set something explicitly in the corosync config to enable this logging?

Hi Andrew 

I can't see much wrong with the log either. If you could run with the latest 
(libqb-0.14.3) and post a backtrace if it still happens, that would be great. 

Thanks

>> I recently configured a 3-node fileserver cluster by building Corosync 2.1.0 and Pacemaker 1.1.8 from source. All of the nodes are running Ubuntu 12.04 amd64. Two of the nodes (storage0 and storage1) are "real" nodes where the resources run (a DRBD disk, filesystem mount, and samba/nfs daemons), while the third node (storagequorum) is in standby mode and acts as a quorum node for the cluster. Today I discovered that corosync died on both storage0 and storage1 at the same time. Since corosync died, pacemaker shut down as well on both nodes. Because the cluster no longer had quorum (and the no-quorum-policy="freeze"), storagequorum was unable to STONITH either node and just left the resources frozen where they were running, on storage0. I cannot find any log information to determine why corosync crashed, and this is a disturbing problem as the cluster and its messaging layer must be stable. Below is my corosync configuration file as well as the corosync log file from each n!
