Bug 1656777

Description of problem:
ctdb package appears to have something missing for it to function properly.
if you install ctdb and set it up it errors at start of the daemon with:

ctdbd[5547]: CTDB starting on node
ctdbd[5548]: Starting CTDBD (Version 4.9.3) as PID: 5548
ctdbd[5548]: Created PID file /var/run/ctdb/ctdbd.pid
ctdbd[5548]: Removed stale socket /var/run/ctdb/ctdbd.socket
ctdbd[5548]: Listening to ctdb socket /var/run/ctdb/ctdbd.socket
ctdbd[5548]: Set real-time scheduler priority
ctdbd[5548]: Starting event daemon /usr/libexec/ctdb/ctdb-eventd -P 5548 -S
ctdbd[5548]: Set runstate to INIT (1)
ctdbd[5548]: ctdb exiting with error: Failed to run init event
ctdbd[5548]:
ctdbd[5548]: CTDB daemon shutting down
ctdb-eventd[5550]: PID 5548 gone away, exiting

with no hint as to why it fails.
running ctdbd thru strace gave me a clue.

there is a missing folder that's causing this, so running:
mkdir -p /etc/ctdb/events/legacy
to create the missing legacy folder gets me a bit further.

after this i get a bit further but this time it errors on:
ctdbd[4472]: tdb(/var/lib/ctdb/state/persistent_health.tdb.0): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/lib/ctdb/state/persistent_health.tdb.0: No such file or directory

so create the missing state folder:
mkdir -p /var/lib/ctdb/state

this now results in a daemon that starts up.


but give above issues and two missing folders i cant be sure that this is the only issues.
so far i have not been able to convince ctdb to takeover specified public ip addresses.
logfile for ctdb shows it is repeatedly trying to takeover ip but no sign of why it never succeeds.

i suspect it might have something to do with the legacy event scripts but not sure.



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