Would it help to know that that device will never be written to? The only way the contents of the device will be altered is if you use 'pool_tool', and then you would have to specify the device to alter. In the worst case, the wrong CCA may be selected; causing the node to try to join a cluster which may not exist - and probably fail the join. You should never have a problem with overwritten devices. If you have more concerns, feel free to post; otherwise, marking this bug WONTFIX. |
Description of problem: In the init script /etc/init.d/ccsd, may autodetect the CCA block device to use with pool_tool -s | awk '/CCA device /{print $1}' If there is several CCA block device detected by pool_tool, ccsd will choose the first one. I think this is too dangerous to use the first cca block device that *may* be the cca to use. Maybe the user set up several cca block device for testing purpose and they must not be used automatically. Maybe another block device matches the magic number test of pool_tool. Maybe pool_tool will take /dev/sda because this device looks like a CCA. I fear that ccsd broke another device if this block device happen to look like a CCA device.
