[Pacemaker] STONITHed node cannot rejoin cluster for over 1000 elections

[Andrew Martin]

Hi Andrew, 


Thanks, I'll compile Pacemaker 1.1.8 and Corosync 1.4.4. Can I leave cluster-glue and resource-agents at the default versions provided with Ubuntu 12.04 (1.0.8 and 3.9.2 respectively), or do I need to upgrade them as well?

The ocf:heartbeat:exportfs resources failed to stop due to wait_for_leasetime_on_stop being true (I am going to set this to false now because I don't need NFSv4 support). Recognizing this problem, the cluster correctly STONITHed storage1 and migrated the resources to storage0. However, once storage1 finished rebooting, it was unable to join the cluster (crm_mon shows it as [offline]). I have uploaded the syslog from the DC (storagequorum) from this time period here: http://sources.xes-inc.com/downloads/storagequorum.syslog.log . Initially after the STONITH it seems like storage1 rejoins the cluster successfully:

Its not a configuration issue, you're hitting one or more bugs. 

You seem to be using 1.1.6, can I suggest an upgrade to 1.1.8? I 
recall fixing related issues in the last month or so. 
Also consider an updated corosync, there were some related fixes there too.
