Description Adrian-Daniel Bacanu 2012-02-17 14:06:58 UTC 
Description of problem:

The uuidd service does not create the corresponding (corect) pid file.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

[root@rstcenter ~]# cat /etc/*release
CentOS release 5.7 (Final)
[root@rstcenter ~]# rpm -qa e2fsprogs
e2fsprogs-1.39-33.el5
[root@rstcenter ~]# rpm -qa uuidd
uuidd-1.39-33.el5

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start the uuidd service or run the binary
2.Check the pid file created
3.Compare the pid file with the associated pid of the binary
  
Actual results:

[root@rstcenter ~]# ps -efa |grep uuidd
root      4560     1  0 07:49 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/uuidd
[root@rstcenter ~]# cat /var/lib/libuuid/uuidd.pid
4559

Expected results:

4560 (as the associated pid)

Additional info:

Same happens even if you run the service uuidd start command or directly /usr/sbin/uuidd, so it is not a service problem.

Conclusion:

The uuidd binary creates a pid file with 1 integer less than the original pid associated to the process
Comment 1 Adrian-Daniel Bacanu 2012-02-20 07:49:06 UTC 
Sorry for the misleading post.

The bug was fixed in version:

E2fsprogs 1.40.7

Fix uuidd so that it creates the pid file with the correct pid number. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1893244)
Comment 2 Eric Sandeen 2012-02-20 19:51:05 UTC 
Should be fixed in e2fsprogs-1.39-34.el5, available in RHEL5.9.
