Resource-wise I have eight Lustre storage targets on an iSCSI SAN - two each colocated with a single heartbeat IP address on each node.  I have redundant Corosync rings and Stonith is configured, and failover in general works very well.

The mount command obviously failed. Whatever the difference may
be between you mounting the filesystem by hand and the Filesystem
RA. And whatever error 524 means.

Assuming you have recent enough resource-agents and crmsh, you
can trace the Filesystem RA, say:

# crm resource trace ost-08 start

This should make pacemaker try to start ost-08 again:

# crm resource cleanup ost-08

Then look for the trace file in /var/lib/heartbeat/trace_ra.

Alternatively, you can add 'set -x' somewhere in the Filesystem
RA, then look at the logs.
