notice that the timestamps are different. .vrrp was not recreated the
last time you started keepalived. when you started it at 14:16 it did
work, no?
there is a race condition in the code, I think. in my setup, it
"only" happens every fifth time or so I start keepalived. my director
is a Dell PowerEdge 2650, with dual CPUs. I suspect the dual CPUs are
aggravating the problem, but I haven't tried rebooting into a UP
kernel.
btw, upgrading to keepalived 1.1.1 will not fix this problem. I do
however have a patch for keepalived which will fix a segmentation
fault which shows up as the same error in the log every time you
reload the configuration file.
also, consider joining the keepalived list -- this is more on-topic
there.
