Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 427040
RRDp.pm does not return when error_mode is 'catch' and an error occurs
Last modified: 2008-01-02 20:43:36 EST
Description of problem: There is a problem in RRDp.pm when the error_mode is set to catch and an error occurs. Since the behaviour of rrdtool in pipe mode describes the result of a command being one of two things 1. OK followed by the timings 2. ERROR followed by a relevant string the RRDp needs to take into account that the read sequence is complete in either case. Unfortunately the ERROR case returns to the read loop rather than returning. This results in the calling program hanging. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rrdtool-1.3-0.1.beta1.fc8 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. attempt to update an rrd with an old timestamp 2. 3. Actual results: code hangs in module Expected results: returns undef Additional info: Upstream report http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool-trac/ticket/118 Upstream fixed commited in http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool-trac/browser/trunk/program/bindings/perl-piped/RRDp.pm?rev=1209 Revised code available in beta3 package.
Just updated to beta3 in rawhide, will push for f8 soon as well.
rrdtool-1.3-0.4.beta3.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
