[rabbitmq-discuss] Restore parts of rabbitmq mnesia database after crash

Mon Nov 28 18:14:27 GMT 2011

Hmm. That error message should meant that you tried to get two separate 
clusters to merge (i.e. without resetting), or that Mnesia schemas got 
out of sync for some other reason (not obvious how).

Either way, you should have been left with at least one node that 
*would* start successfully - so if you needed the data from Mnesia, 
you'd have to start with that one...

Cheers, Simon
