+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #430264 +++ Description of problem: When qdiskd detects multiple masters, all detecting qdiskd instances are supposed to abdicate their position and elect a new master. Unfortunately, a logic error prevents this from occurring in all cases. For example, if qdiskd goes to sleep, is evicted, and still thinks it is master, it will complain: "A master exists, but it's not me?!" Steps to Reproduce: Unknown; seen in overnight testing Actual results: Loop with annoying messages Expected results: Master abdication + re-election -- Additional comment from lhh on 2008-01-25 11:45 EST -- Created an attachment (id=292960) Fix -- Additional comment from lhh on 2008-02-04 12:19 EST -- One way to cause this is to corrupt the quorum disk while qdiskd is running.
