Using upstart jobs, instead of an initscript, solves Bug 765014. See also: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glusterfs/+bug/876648 The new upstart jobs split the work of starting glusterd & mounting glusterfs volumes into two parts: a glusterd service runner and a glusterfs volume moung blocker which waits for the service runner. This is the method preferred by Ubuntu developers to block a mounting event until a required service is available. These changes will be included in the Ubuntu glusterfs-server package starting with release 12.04, Precise Pangolin. Tested on Ubuntu 12.04 Change-Id: I9bb4e8cb05a1da0997c23f2ef7fea8737f6a2eb9 BUG: 765014 Signed-off-by: Louis Zuckerman <louiszuckerman@gmail.com> Reviewed-on: http://review.gluster.com/2727 Tested-by: Gluster Build System <jenkins@build.gluster.com> Reviewed-by: Amar Tumballi <amarts@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Jeff Darcy <jdarcy@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Anand Avati <avati@redhat.com>

Bug 765014 - Mounting from localhost in fstab fails at boot on ubuntu
|
|
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=765014)
|
|
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glusterfs/+bug/876648)
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu uses upstart instead of init to bootstrap the system and it has a unique
|
|
way of handling fstab, using a program called mountall(8). As a result of using
|
|
a debian initscript to start glusterd, glusterfs mounts in fstab are tried before
|
|
the glusterd service is running. In the case where the client is also a server
|
|
and the volume is mounted from localhost, the mount fails at boot time. To
|
|
correct this we need to launch glusterd using upstart and block the glusterfs
|
|
mounting event until glusterd is started.
|
|
|
|
The glusterd.conf file contains the necessary configuration for upstart to
|
|
manage the glusterd service. It should be placed in /etc/init/glusterd.conf
|
|
on Ubuntu systems, and then the old initscript /etc/init.d/glusterd can be
|
|
removed. An additional upstart job, mounting-glusterfs.conf, is also required
|
|
to block mounting glusterfs volumes until the glusterd service is available.
|
|
Both of these upstart jobs need to be placed in /etc/init to resolve the issue.
|
|
|
|
Starting with Ubuntu 12.04, Precise Pangolin, these upstart jobs will be
|
|
included with the glusterfs-server package in the Ubuntu repository.
|
|
|
|
This affects all versions of glusterfs on the Ubuntu platform since at least
|
|
10.04, Lucid Lynx.
