yes - at least I think this is all the packages.  (What I did was run a yum update -y, for the most part - had to do pacemaker separately -- had to stop it, update it, start it.)

now, is it possible I'm missing a needed package after the update... but dependencies should have handled that....?

I correlate between the atop logs, nagios alerts, and monit, to try to find a trigger.  Like trying to find a particular snowflake in Alaska in January.

That does sound bizarre. I haven't tried 6.5 in a while, but it's
certainly compatible with the current 6.8.

IIRC, you updated to the 6.8 pacemaker packages ... Did you also update
the OS and/or other cluster-related packages to 6.8?
