For what it's worth, the killproc() call in mdmonitor has a similar problem. The daemon() and killproc() functions are designed to work with pid files in /var/run and the mdadm pid file is in /var/run/mdadm. It's not clear how to me how to resolve this incompatibility. This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks. This is still a problem in FC5, patched up to about 6 weeks ago. I do not have any FC6 systems to check. This problem still exists. However, I'm correcting it. It will be solved in mdadm-2.6.2-2 or later. mdadm-2.6.2-2.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. mdadm-2.6.2-3.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. mdadm-2.6.2-4.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. mdadm-2.6.2-4.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051130 Firefox/1.5 Description of problem: The call to the daemon function (from /etc/init.d/functions) in the start function of /etc/init.d/mdmonitor is daemon --check --user=root mdadm ${OPTIONS} This is not correct syntactically. It tells the daemon function to check for a process named "--user=root" I suspect that the intention was daemon --check=mdadm/mdadm --user=root mdadm ${OPTIONS} which will check the correct path for the pid file, *BUT* doesn't actually do the right thing either. The daemon function is simply not coded to handle a pid file that is not directly in /var/run Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mdadm-1.11.0-4.fc4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.cat /etc/init.d/mdmonitor 2. 3.
