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

[Christopher Grebs]

Hey Simon,

yea, maybe a short excurse on what we have done:

We had two rabbitmq nodes in a cluster configuration and sadly the 
second node got broken so the first (master node) was running in cluster 
configuration but without a second node - kinda broken thingy.

Now the master was restarted and did not start properly possibly - as 
you mentioned - because of some broken cluster, at least that's what I 
think when I read the error message.

So there was only one node in the whole cluster and this one did not 
start properly but raised this error - so I have no other node to try out.

Cheers, Christopher.
