Description of problem: tuned cannot start; seems to be related to NIC bonding Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tuned-0.2.19-4.el6.noarch How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. /sbin/service tuned start 2. /sbin/service tuned status Actual results: "tuned dead but subsys locked" Expected results: Should see that tuned is running. Additional info: When trying to start tuned manually: [root@hostname net]# /usr/sbin/tuned -c /etc/tuned.conf Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/tuned", line 103, in <module> tuned.init(TUNEDDIR, cfgfile, debug = debug) File "/usr/share/tuned/tuned.py", line 82, in init self.__initplugins__(path, "monitorplugins", self.mp) File "/usr/share/tuned/tuned.py", line 43, in __initplugins__ exec _cmd File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/share/tuned/monitorplugins/net.py", line 135, in <module> _plugin = NetMonitor() File "/usr/share/tuned/monitorplugins/net.py", line 33, in __init__ tunable = self._tunable_devices() File "/usr/share/tuned/monitorplugins/net.py", line 44, in _tunable_devices tunable = filter(self._device_is_tunable, devices) File "/usr/share/tuned/monitorplugins/net.py", line 48, in _device_is_tunable if self._device_type(name) in "virtual": File "/usr/share/tuned/monitorplugins/net.py", line 56, in _device_type path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(path), os.readlink(path)) OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: '/sys/class/net/bonding_masters' And in /var/log/messages: May 24 00:40:00 hostname python: abrt: detected unhandled Python exception in /usr/sbin/tuned
Easy to fix. Patch committed upstream. http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=tuned.git;a=commit;h=ba38290
Any updates on this issue?
I have to report that I have pulled tuned from the git repository and built the RPM and installed it on an RHEL6.1 system and it still fails with the errors as originally reported: backtrace ----- net.py:57:_device_type:OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: '/sys/class/net/bonding_masters' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/tuned", line 129, in <module> tuned.init(TUNEDDIR, cfgfile, debug = debug) File "/usr/share/tuned/tuned.py", line 82, in init self._initplugins(path, "monitorplugins", self.mp) File "/usr/share/tuned/tuned.py", line 43, in _initplugins exec _cmd File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/share/tuned/monitorplugins/net.py", line 134, in <module> _plugin = NetMonitor() File "/usr/share/tuned/monitorplugins/net.py", line 33, in __init__ tunable = self._tunable_devices() File "/usr/share/tuned/monitorplugins/net.py", line 44, in _tunable_devices tunable = filter(self._device_is_tunable, devices) File "/usr/share/tuned/monitorplugins/net.py", line 48, in _device_is_tunable if self._device_type(name) in "virtual": File "/usr/share/tuned/monitorplugins/net.py", line 57, in _device_type path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(path), os.readlink(path)) OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: '/sys/class/net/bonding_masters' Local variables in innermost frame: path: '/sys/class/net/bonding_masters' self: <monitorplugins.net.NetMonitor instance at 0x7ffe77b8fe18> name: 'bonding_masters' and in /var/log/messages: Jul 28 09:18:39 hostname python: abrt: detected unhandled Python exception in /usr/sbin/tuned
Please change the line except (IOError, AttributeError): to except (IOError, AttributeError, OSError): in the patch.
Tested and confirmed that it works now! Thanks! Frank Swasey
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Previously, using NIC bonding could have led to an unexpected termination of "tuned". With this update, the network device type determination has been fixed by handling more error conditions so that the aforementioned bug no longer occurs.
