Description Aravinda VK 2016-02-04 11:25:09 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1162905 +++

Description of problem:
Line 16 of geo-replication/src/peer_gsec_create.in has a hard coded path of ${exec_prefix}/libexec/glusterfs/gsyncd - ignoring the value of remote_gsyncd option in gsyncd.conf

atleast in Ubuntu, there is no libexec folder anywhere on the system and the ubuntu debs provided by semiosis installs gsyncd to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glusterfs/

this file has not changed in 3.5 or 3.6, so affects both releases.

The only way to get distributed geo-replication working is to symlink the path to the correct location.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.5.1, 3.5.2, 3.6.1


How to reproduce:

follow the distributed geo-replication docs at https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/blob/master/doc/admin-guide/en-US/markdown/admin_distributed_geo_rep.md on a non-redhat system


Steps to Reproduce:
1. setup geo-replication as per docs
2. start the geo-replication
3. status never changes from "Not Active"
4. log files show cannot execute gsyncd

Actual results:

E [glusterd-geo-rep.c:2685:glusterd_gsync_read_frm_status] 0-: Unable to read gsyncd status file
E [glusterd-geo-rep.c:2999:glusterd_read_status_file] 0-: Unable to read the statusfile for /export/sitedata brick for  ds0(master), 10.42.0.8::geo-repl(slave) session


Expected results:

geo-replication to work.

    geo-rep: Fix gsyncd prefix in gsec_create
    
    gsec_create script is generated after running ./configure
    
    libexec dir was formed using $prefix/libexec, but in Debian based
    distributions libexec dir is not present, instead they use lib
    directory to store these scripts.
    
    With this patch, full libexec path is fetched during ./configure.
