I can't get any symbols out of these coredumps. Can you try get a backtrace?

if you look in exec/main.c and look for SIGSEGV you will see how the mechanism
for fdata works. Just and a handler for SIGBUS and hook it up. Then you should
be able to get the fdata for both.

I'd rather be able to get a backtrace if possible.

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?

>>>> 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 !
