Description Alissa 2014-06-19 14:03:46 UTC

Description of problem:

The uploader requires existence of user 'vdsm' on the machine where its executed.
Its rpm doesn't check/add the required user, so if that user doesn't exist on the machine where it runs  - the uploader fails.(for example - ovirt-engine machine where the engine was built from source and doesn't require user vdsm to exist)
The error at failure:
"ERROR: A user named vdsm with a UID and GID of 36 must be defined on the system to mount the export storage domain on myexport as Read/Write"


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.4

How reproducible:
when user vdsm doesn't exist on the machine where the uploader runs.


Expected results:
either there's no need to have user 'vdsm' or the uploader adds it upon installation.

Lev, you can find examples for checking user and group existence and code for creating them within the spec file in vdsm and ovirt-engine projects spec files.

Please clone the BZ to iso uploader for tracking it too.

Can't do - there is no ovirt-iso-uploader component in oVirt.
And since the patch is basically the same I think it's OK to track both in one bug.

Comment 4 Jiri Belka 2014-09-16 09:03:02 UTC

ok, ovirt-image-uploader-3.5.0-0.1.master.20140905074913.git9639d6c.el6.noarch

Comment 5 Sandro Bonazzola 2014-10-17 12:25:31 UTC

oVirt 3.5 has been released and should include the fix for this issue.
