[ClusterLabs] Upgrade corosync problem

Wed Jun 27 03:35:10 EDT 2018

Hi,

Thanks for reply and detailed explaination. I am not using the —network=host option.
I have a docker image based on Ubuntu 14.04 where I only deploy this additional software:

	RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y wget git xz-utils openssh-server \
		systemd-services make gcc pkg-config psmisc fuse libpython2.7 libopenipmi0 \
		libdbus-glib-1-2 libsnmp30 libtimedate-perl libpcap0.8

configure ssh with key pairs to communicate easily. The containers are created with these simple commands:

	docker create -it --cap-add=MKNOD --cap-add SYS_ADMIN --device /dev/loop0 --device /dev/fuse --net ${PUBLIC_NETWORK_NAME} --publish 		${PG1_SSH_PORT}:22 --ip ${PG1_PUBLIC_IP} --name ${PG1_PRIVATE_NAME} --hostname ${PG1_PRIVATE_NAME} -v ${MOUNT_FOLDER}:/Users ngha /bin/bash

	docker create -it --cap-add=MKNOD --cap-add SYS_ADMIN --device /dev/loop1 --device /dev/fuse --net ${PUBLIC_NETWORK_NAME} --publish ${PG2_SSH_PORT}:22 --ip ${PG2_PUBLIC_IP} --name ${PG2_PRIVATE_NAME} --hostname ${PG2_PRIVATE_NAME} -v ${MOUNT_FOLDER}:/Users ngha /bin/bash		

	docker create -it --cap-add=MKNOD --cap-add SYS_ADMIN --device /dev/loop2 --device /dev/fuse --net ${PUBLIC_NETWORK_NAME} --publish ${PG3_SSH_PORT}:22 --ip ${PG3_PUBLIC_IP} --name ${PG3_PRIVATE_NAME} --hostname ${PG3_PRIVATE_NAME} -v ${MOUNT_FOLDER}:/Users ngha /bin/bash

/dev/fuse is used to configure glusterfs on two others nodes and /dev/loopX just to simulate better my bare metal env.

One thing that I do not understand is that I tried to compare corosync 2.3.5 (the old version that worked fine) and 2.4.4 to understand differences but I haven’t found anything related to the piece of code that affects the issue. The quorum tool.c and cfg.c are almost the same. Probably the issue is somewhere else.
