Description Anthony Green 2007-10-15 21:39:31 UTC 
Description of problem:
We've seen several instances with ClusterSuite where startup or shutdown hangs.
 With startup, one of the gfs mounts hung during the mount command.  Strace on
the mount command showed no activity in the process, so it was apparently
blocked.  During a stop call when relocating services, our clustered application
failed to shutdown and hung.

With the stop failure, it would be possible to add a timer to our stop action of
the /etc/init.d script, but that seems like overkill and it's a pain to do some
of the more advanced features in shell script.  It would be desirable if
clustersuite were to set a configurable timer and if the starting of the
application takes too long, it would consider the start to have failed.  On the
stop action, it would be desirable to have a similar timer with the possibility
of calling a second action if the timer is exceeded.  stop, wait for 5 minutes
and then call the abort action, for example.

Comment 2 Lon Hohberger 2007-10-23 20:48:17 UTC 
Ok:

start timeout => normal recovery (i.e., try to stop, then move somewhere else in
the cluster)

stop timeout => critical (i.e. if hardrecovery is set, reboot the node, else,
mark service 'failed')

status timeout => normal recovery
Comment 5 Lon Hohberger 2008-08-18 21:03:50 UTC 
Upstream / community member would also like a status timeout
