I'd say it's more likely that either 1) NFS gave away the lock when it shouldn't have, or 2) network conditions were such that your master lost connectivity and NFS rightly allowed the slave to take it. In either case, useful logging could only come from your NFS server.
Separately from the question of why this happened, I'm concerned that it took 3 minutes for the master to recognize it had lost the lock (during which time you'd have had a dual-master situation). Can that be explained by your specific NFS settings? Tim On Mar 18, 2016 7:04 AM, "James A.
