Description Radek Steiger 2016-02-09 14:59:05 UTC
> Description of problem:

Running cluster setup may soemtimes get stuck with pcsd-cli.rb subprocesses never returning. It looks like the pipe between python caller and ruby subprocesses when calling for read_tokens.

This can be best reproduced by running the cluster setup in a loop with 10 seconds delay between the attempts (timing seems to be a key here). It might take several minutes before the setup will get stuck.


> Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

[root@virt-031 ~]# rpm -q pcs
pcs-0.9.148-3.el6.x86_64


> How reproducible:

~ 10%


> Steps to Reproduce:
1. while [ $? -eq 0 ]; do sleep 10; date; pcs cluster setup --name STSRHTS24987 virt-030 virt-031 virt-033 --force --debug; done
2. wait until the loop above hangs


> Actual results:

Debug output get stuck here:
