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

[Jan Friesse]

Ansdrew,
I was not able to find anything interesting (from corosync point of
view) in configuration/logs (corosync related).

What would be helpful:
- if corosync died, there should be
/var/lib/corosync/fdata-DATETTIME-PID of dead corosync. Can you please
xz them and store somewhere (they are quiet large but well compressible).
- If you are able to reproduce problem (what seems like you are), can
you please allow generating of coredumps and store somewhere backtrace
of coredump? (coredumps are stored in /var/lib/corosync as core.PID, and
way to obtain coredump is gdb corosync /var/lib/corosync/core.pid, and
here thread apply all bt). If you are running distribution with ABRT
support, you can also use ABRT to generate report.

Regards,
  Honza

> Hello,

> 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 no!
 de during 
this period.

> Note that I have two redundant rings. On one of them, I specify the IP address (in this example 10.10.10.7) so that it binds to the correct interface (since potentially in the future those machines may have two interfaces on the same subnet).
