Inconsistent_database after a network split

[joudinet]

I set up 3 master nodes as described in your blog. After configuring the first node (node1), I use your join_as_master method in both node2 and node3: easy_cluster:join_as_master('ejabberd@node1'). At first glance, it works perfectly. However, after a network split, the system didn't work properly. Restarting node2 in live mode, I saw the following error message: Mnesia(ejabberd@node2): ** ERROR ** mnesia_event got {inconsistent_database, starting_partitioned_network, ejabberd@node1}

I don' t know how to solve this problem and, more important, how to make sure the ejabberd cluster still works after a network split, without a manual intervention. Any idea?

We currently run our cluster behind a load balancer on a vlan so netsplits aren't something I've come across. Multi-master might not work for this case where these net-splits might occur. I don't have the time to troubleshoot this, but you're welcome to fork away. There are some other issues I have seen creep up in the wild that I'm currently troubleshooting myself.

Ok, I've read the new disclaimer, don't worry ;-) Anyway, I had a look at the unsplit framework and I think I can use it to solve the conflicts. As soon as I have something working, I let you know.
