Maybe. If the stopped daemon is stopped because it fails to start then pacemaker might get unhappy when subsequent starts also fail, and might even get STONITHy. > > .

If pacemaker see's the error it might start doing things you don't want. Technically, for actual clustered resources, returning "not running" when something is running is about the worst thing you can do because pacemaker might then start up the resource on another node (eg start a VM on two nodes at once, corrupting the fs). The way you'd set this up for ceph though is just a cloned resource on each node so it wouldn't matter anyway. > > > > The only solution I can see is to manage the services individually, in > > which case the init.d script with your patch + setting to 0 if running > > does the right thing anyway. > > Yeah, managing individually is probably the most robust, but if it works > well enough in the generic configuration with no customization that is > good. Actually it subsequently occurred to me that if I set them up individually then my dependencies will break (eg start ceph before mounting ceph-fs) because there are now different ceph instances per node. > > Anyway, I'm fine with whatever variation of your original or my patch you > think addresses this.

Maybe it would be better for me to just re-order the init.d scripts so ceph starts in init.d and leave it at that...
