[OSR-devel] GlusterFS and mdadm mods

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

Hi,

Attached are:

My latest clusterfs-lib.sh that includes a temporary bodge for a problem 
with glusterfs that makes operations on the FS fail for a few seconds 
after mounting because fuse takes a little while to settle. So the bodge 
is to include "sleep 5; ls -la <mount-point>" to make sure that the real 
  root is ready by the time we mount cdsl.local. It's a patched version 
of the latest package that was preview (I haven't seen any updates to 
preview in at least a few weeks).

Also attached is hardware-lib.sh that has a different approach to mdadm 
stuff (this is, AFAIK, only really useful for gluster at the moment). 
Instead of:

if [ -f /etc/mdadm.conf ]

it checks for

if [ -x /sbin/mdadm ]

because I've been having problems with mdadm.conf contents - it looks 
like despite them being cdsl-ed out to cdsl.local, the node that builds 
the initrd hard-puts it's own mdadm.conf into the initrd.
Anyway, instead of looking for a pre-existing mdadm.conf, the patch 
makes a new one:

mdadm --examine --scan > /etc/mdadm.conf

This file should now be removed from the package:
/etc/comoonics/bootimage/files.initrd.d/mdadm.list
(or at least be empty), since it only contained /etc/mdadm.conf

Thanks.

Gordan
