That was all what I sent. From 43:00 the corosync process appears to be irresponsive. One of the cores was at 100% cpu, but from htop, top or similar apps it is impossible to gues which app it is. Of course, killing corosync with -9 lowers the cpu usage.

If I understand correctly, you are asking me to remove the redundant link (the second interface block from the .conf) completely, right?

I set debug to on, and did a few restarts but could not reproduce the issue yet - will post the logs as soon as I manage to reproduce.


There are also a few things that might or might not be related:

1) Whenever I want to edit the configuration with "crm configure edit", upon save I get a similar error:
        " ERROR: 47: duplicate element cib-bootstrap-options
        Do you want to edit again? "
        But there is no such duplicate elment as far as I can tell. This might be a crmsh issue, and not related to corosync at all, just mentioning.

2)
        "Mar 11 21:31:11 [4797] ctdb2    pengine:    error: process_pe_message:  Calculated Transition 27: /var/lib/pacemaker/pengine/pe-error-7.bz2
        Mar 11 21:31:11 [4797] ctdb2    pengine:   notice: process_pe_message:  Configuration ERRORs found during PE processing.  Please run "crm_verify -L" to         identify issues."

        But crm_veryfy -L shows no problems at all...
