[OSR-devel] killall and init scripts

[Gordan B. <go...@bo...>]

Hi,

I have GlusterFS OSR working and I'll be sending a patch when I have done a bit more testing including rebuilding a fresh system from scratch to test my notes/documentation which I'll also be submitting.

There is a minor problem, however. On my previous cluster, I appear to have a modified halt init script (RHEL5). This has been changed to exclude certain processes from getting killed to prevent the root FS from disappearing half way through the shutdown sequence. What package provides this? The rpm database only listed the RHEL supplied package, but the file says it's an OSR patched file. So where does it come from? The only difference between the old and new systems is that one is IA32 and the other x86-64. Could there be a packaging error on the 64-bit version that didn't include the modified halt script or something like that?

Either way, I copied the halt script across and added glusterfs to the list of things to not kill (-x parameter), but this didn't appear to make any difference. The man page for killall/killall5 on RHEL5 doesn't appear to list the -x option (although I did find a reference to this parameter being added in Debian in 2006). Is this known to work on RHEL/CentOS 5, or is there a modified killall required for this distro?

Thanks.

Gordan
