Bug 1791670

The error message comes form a system call for opening a file. To get this resolved, pcs would have to check for existence of /etc/booth specifically before it tries to write files in there.

After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release.  Therefore, it is being closed.  If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.

This has been fixed upstream by community.

Upstream patch: https://github.com/ClusterLabs/pcs/commit/5e8e1b8aa4a2b98218a3dc09f619b5b089b590d1

### booth pull

First, create booth config using command 'pcs booth setup sites' on the second node.

[root@r8-node-02 ~]# rpm -qa booth*
booth-site-1.0-199.1.ac1d34c.git.el8.noarch
booth-1.0-199.1.ac1d34c.git.el8.x86_64
booth-core-1.0-199.1.ac1d34c.git.el8.x86_64
[root@r8-node-02 ~]# ls -l /etc/booth
total 0
[root@r8-node-02 ~]# pcs booth setup sites 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.2 127.0.0.3
[root@r8-node-02 ~]# echo $?
0
[root@r8-node-02 ~]# ls -l /etc/booth
total 8
-rw-r--r--. 1 root      root     83 May 24 18:05 booth.conf
-rw-------. 1 hacluster haclient 64 May 24 18:05 booth.key
[root@r8-node-02 ~]# pcs booth config
authfile = /etc/booth/booth.key
site = 127.0.0.1
site = 127.0.0.2
site = 127.0.0.3

Try to pull booth config from the second node on the first node where /etc/booth directory is missing

[root@r8-node-01 ~]# pcs booth pull r8-node-02
Fetching booth config from node 'r8-node-02'...
Error: Configuration directory for booth '/etc/booth' is missing. Is booth installed?
