Description Jan Pokorný [poki] 2010-09-15 14:27:25 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #634126 +++

Description of problem:
This bug appeared with introduction of unfencing generation support which was a solution of bug #622562.
It is assumed that the only symptom of this bug is mentioned problem that when fence device instance is being removed, respective "device" xml-nodes (i.e. those referencing particular fence device instance by name) are not removed from "unfence" section(s). This leads to "zombie" items.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Any having fix for bug #622562 applied (no official one for RHEL6 presently). This solution was committed to upstream git as two subsequent commits (ca226dabc8d51073322b44971b14c3ecdc94a686 + 847508ae4483685d3eb59ed47433c02562c6bf0f).

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create new fence device instance (Fence Devices tab - Add), it has to be one of the fence devices that support unfencing (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=622562#c1)
2. display details to any node of particular cluster (on Nodes tab), add a fence method, then by this method, click "Add a Fence Instance", from the drop-down menu, select a fence device instance added in step 1, then make sure the "Unfencing" checkbox is checked and confirm (optionally, check the cluster.conf on a cluster's node)
3. go back to Fence Devices tab, select fence device instance added in step 1 and delete it -- if you check cluster.conf now, you can see that respective "device" xml-nodes in "unfence" section has not been removed as expected (in "fence" section, they were removed correctly)

In Fedora 12, the (only) package release affected is luci-0.22.4-1.0.b9faf868074git.fc12 (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=190977).

Comment 3 Jan Pokorný [poki] 2010-09-15 18:45:37 UTC
This should be fixed in the upstream: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=luci.git;a=commit;h=bae8f42cb56d2e01e1d55f8f954cef4e7c3401b6

Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2010-11-03 10:08:43 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2010-12-03 12:29:38 UTC
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
