BUG in PID dir creation???

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi.

I'm running CentOS 6.4 with resource-agents-3.9.2-21.el6_4.3.x86_64

I've noticed a problem that resource agents don't create pid directories correctly.

Let's take samba for example. So, samba resource agent in start() function calls function 'create_pid_directory', whose body is in file:
/usr/share/cluster/utils/config-utils.sh

and relevant lines looks like this:

declare RA_COMMON_pid_dir=/var/run/cluster

create_pid_directory()
{
        declare program_name="$(basename $0 | sed 's/^\(.*\)\..*/\1/')"
        declare dirname="$RA_COMMON_pid_dir/$program_name"

        if [ -d "$dirname" ]; then
                return 0;
        fi

        chmod 711 "$RA_COMMON_pid_dir"
        mkdir -p "$dirname"

        return 0;
}

So, if a samba.sh resource agent calls create_pid_directory(), dirname variable will have the value of '/var/run/cluster/samba', thus, that directory will be created.

BUT, samba.sh resource agent also has the following line:

declare SAMBA_pid_dir="`generate_name_for_pid_dir`"


Looking at generate_name_for_pid_dir() function, it's obvious that the value of SAMBA_pid_dir is '/var/run/cluster/samba/samba:${name}'.


For this snippet of cluster.conf:

<service name="myservice">
  <ip ref="192.168.10.10"/>
  <samba ref="ha_smb"/>
</service>

SAMBA_pid_dir is /var/run/cluster/samba/samba:ha_smb

That means that service won't be able to put pid file in that directory because directory does not exit... create_pid_directory() creates only the parent directory, so the user has to create it manually.

I think this is a huge bug, but am really mystified how did it survive for so long? The solution is pretty straightforward and simple:

--- /usr/share/cluster/utils/config-utils.sh.orig 2013-09-08 04:48:47.000000000 +0200 +++ /usr/share/cluster/utils/config-utils.sh 2013-09-08 04:49:02.000000000 +0200

 	fi
 	
 	chmod 711 "$RA_COMMON_pid_dir"
-	mkdir -p "$dirname"
+	mkdir -p "$dirname/$OCF_RESOURCE_INSTANCE"
 	
 	if [ "$program_name" = "mysql" ]; then
 		chown mysql.root "$dirname"



Should I file a bug report ?!
