Hi,
working on a geo-redundant setup, I uncovered a problem with booth. In order to simplify, I did an experiment with only booth, no pacemaker. The behavior is the same with pacemaker.

Version used
------------

Config file

transport="UDP"
port="6666"
arbitrator="10.3.3.1"
site="10.3.1.10"
site="10.3.2.10"
ticket="ticketMaster;120"

*same on all nodes.

Invocations
-----------

root@10.3.3.1:~# /usr/sbin/boothd arbitrator -D

root@10.3.1.10:~# /usr/sbin/boothd site -D

root@10.3.2.10:~# /usr/sbin/boothd site -D

Initial state
-------------

root@10.3.3.1:~# booth client list
ticket: ticketMaster, owner: None, expires: INF

* same on all 3 nodes

Granting the ticket
-------------------

root@10.3.3.1:~# booth client grant -t ticketMaster -s 10.3.2.10
cluster[25103]: 2013/01/18_11:16:35 info: grant command sent, result will be returned asynchronously, you can get the result from the log files

Status after grant
------------------

root@10.3.3.1:~# booth client list
ticket: ticketMaster, owner: 10.3.2.10, expires: 2013/01/18 11:20:11

* same on all 3 nodes, so far so good

Simulation a network outage on 10.3.2.10
----------------------------------------

root@10.3.2.10:~# iptables -I INPUT -s 10.3.1.0/24 -j DROP; iptables -I INPUT -s 10.3.3.0/24 -j DROP; iptables -I OUTPUT -d 10.3.1.0/24 -j DROP; iptables -I OUTPUT -d 10.3.2.0/24 -j DROP

after the outage, here the last lines of the arbitrator:

booth-arbitrator[25055]: 2013/01/18_11:28:23 debug: only proposer can do this

and of course:

root@10.3.1.10:~# booth client list
ticket: ticketMaster, owner: None, expires: INF

The debug message "only proposer can do this" comes from the paxos_round_request functions in paxos.c with the condition:

if (!(pi->ps->role[myid] & PROPOSER)) {
        log_debug("only proposer can do this");
        return -EOPNOTSUPP;
}

So my pick is the the PROPOSER bit is not set correctly in the structure in the lease_expires and lease_retry functions. I am not very familiar with that code base but I'll try to figure out the issue and submit a patch on git hub.

Regards,

Yves
