Thank you for the reply Steve!

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?

Regards,
Bernard Chew
