Description Rostislav Krasny 2026-05-22 17:18:35 UTC

Right after install or reinstall of the glusterfs package the /run/gluster/metrics is created by the script in the RPM spec. Later this directory is removed by the system and glusterfs already supports recreation of this directory when needed. See following:

[1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1624006
[2] https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/commit/b78f18c24d9860472a2e76bbcf72720889b8af3c

Also in libglusterfs/src/glusterfs/monitoring.h (related to [2])

#define GLUSTER_METRICS_DIR "/var/run/gluster/metrics"

I'm preparing a pull request for Fedora 44 and will add a link to this PR here in a comment soon.

This issue exists in Fedora 43 and thould be back-ported there as well.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install or reinstall glusterfs package
2. run sudo rpm -Va
3. reboot
4. run sudo rpm -Va again
Actual Results:
following line in the rpm -Va output

missing     /run/gluster/metrics

Expected Results:
No line like following in the rpm -Va output

missing     /run/gluster/metrics

Comment 1 Rostislav Krasny 2026-05-22 17:21:04 UTC

Following is my pull request with proposed fix. Please review and merge. I don't have permissions to merge by myself.

Comment 2 Rostislav Krasny 2026-05-22 17:24:07 UTC

My PR removes following line:

mkdir -p %{buildroot}%{_rundir}/gluster/metrics

Maybe this is not a fully correct change and instead of removing it should be changed to the following one:

mkdir -p %{buildroot}%{_rundir}/gluster

Comment 3 Rostislav Krasny 2026-05-22 17:49:32 UTC

(In reply to Rostislav Krasny from comment #2)

Yes, that remove of the "mkdir -p" line was incorrect and the automatic build of the PR failed.
I've amended my commit in my PR.
