2) "QB" is just how corosync tags messages that are issued by libqb - 
which is the library that provides IPC services (mostly) to corosync 
andothers. It's just logging the services that have been registered.

1) QB originally stood for "QuarterBack". I have no idea what that is 
though I beleive it may be sport-related. In the spec file for Fedora I 
renamed it to "Quite Boring" as it's a library that provides basic 
services ;-)

3) That's just the unique name of the connection. it's made up of the 
process PIDs and an incrementing number. The actual full IPC name in 
/dev/shm has extra bits added on the end to stop them being guessable.
