[Debian-ha-maintainers] Bug#752512: corosync: Corosync doesn't start at reboot

[Tapio Salonsaari]

Package: corosync
Version: 1.4.2-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainers,

I ran into problem with corosync on one of our servers. Our corosync daemon doesn't
start at boot, but after the host is back online again 'service corosync start' fixes
the issue just fine until next reboot.

Unfortunately I don't have exact time when the issue came up nor even a confirmation 
that it's an problem with corosync, but as far as I can tell it's at least related with
corosync.

Steps to reproduce:
- Reboot host
- Observe that corosync isn't running
- Start corosync with 'service' or directly via /etc/init.d/ without issues

I attempted to place some debugging messages to init-script, but it looks like that 
host doesn't even attempt to run init-script, even if symlinks and everything are
in place:
# ls -l /etc/rc2.d/

I even tried to add line '/usr/sbin/service corosync start' into /etc/rc.local but
(yet again for some reason I can't figure out) daemon still didn't start during
boot.

I omitted configuration files, since I highly doubt that they aren't an issue,
since the very script which should start service at boot works, it just doesn't run.
Obviously, I've got 'START=yes' on /etc/default/corosync, but other than that 
configuration files should be in order.

Either there's something wrong on corosync, or my host has something messed up which 
I can't spot, but at this point it seems that the setup should work flawlessly. 
Obviously, if (when) it's an error on my side, I sincerely apologize for wasting your
precious time.
