Description Bertho 2006-11-08 13:33:30 UTC
Description of problem:
Mounting a GFS2 filesystem with dlm locking with a cluster name mismatch causes
(an expected) failure at mount time, but gfs_controld uses 100% CPU thereafter
and does not seem to sleep anymore. Restarting cman/gfs_controld resolves the
problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
- FC6 x86_64 updated
- cman-2.0.18-2.fc6

How reproducible:
Every time you try to mount a GFS2 filesystem that has a locking table name that
is not the cluster's name.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mkfs.gfs2 -p lock_dlm -t mtprodbox0:xenhome -j 8 /dev/vgxentest/lvxenhome
2. in /etc/cluster/cluster.conf: <cluster alias="BigBrother" config_version="5"
name="BigMamma">...etc...
3. /etc/init.d/cman restart
4. mount -tgfs2 -onoatime /dev/vgxentest/lvxenhome /mnt

(name mismatch: mtprodbox0 vs BigMamma)

  
Actual results:
gfs_controld uses 100% CPU.

Expected results:
gfs_controld notes/logs failure and goes back to sleep.

Additional info:
Running the control daemon with debug on the command line revealed the logic
error (the clustername mismatch). However, it did not reveal why it kept
spinning. It would be nice if the control daemon would log to syslog by default.
