The cluster was running fine until last week where 3 nodes restarted suddenly. I suspect fencing took place since all 3 servers restarted at the same time but I couldn't find any fence related entries in the log. I am guessing we hit the bug you mentioned? Will the log indicate fencing has taken place with regards to the bug you mentioned? Also I noticed the message "kernel: clustat[28328]: segfault at 0000000000000024 rip 0000003b31c75bc0 rsp 00007fff955cb098 error 4" occasionally; is this related to the TOTEM message or they indicate another problem?
