RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: 389-ds-base-2.3.6-2.el9
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
.The `dirsrv` service now starts correctly after reboot Previously, `dirsrv` service could fail to start after reboot because `dirsrv` service did not explicitly wait for `systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service` to finish. This led to a race condition. With this update, `dirsrv` service waits for the `systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service` to finish and no longer fail to start after reboot.

This is because /run mounted as tmpfs, thus it is possible no dirsrv/ under it
~~~
# mount  | grep /run
tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,seclabel,size=13107724k,nr_inodes=819200,mode=755,inode64)

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

389-ds-base-2.1.3-4.el9_1.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RH IdM
2. ensure 'nsslapd-rundir: /run/dirsrv' in dse.ldif
3. ensure /run is mounted as tmpfs
4. reboot

Actual results:

Following error message shown:

EMERG - main - Ensure that user "dirsrv" has read and write permissions on /run/dirsrv

Expected results:

389ds create the /run/dirsrv with correct owner and file mod

Additional info:

IPA service that also suffer similar symptom: ipa, named, samba

Workaround:

1. create the directory before 389ds-start, like:
  mkdir -p dirsrv
  chmod -v 770 dirsrv
  chown -v dirsrv:dirsrv dirsrv
  mkdir -p lock/dirsrv/slapd-CHEN-HOME
  chmod -vR 770 lock/dirsrv
  chown -vR dirsrv:dirsrv lock/dirsrv

2. Service systemd-tmpfiles-setup also create the required directories.  

- service ipa, name
Comment 1 Viktor Ashirov 2023-07-14 10:52:21 UTC 
I believe there is a race condition when dirsrv tries to start before systemd-tmpfiles-setup. I couldn't reproduce it myself, but this is not the first time this issue gets reported.

Perhaps we should explicitly require it in our unit file, like so:
After=systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service
