Description of problem: Condor's SchedLog is full of: directory_util::rec_touch_file: Directory /var/lock/condor/local cannot be created (Permission denied) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): condor-7.7.0-0.7.fc15 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Condor 2. Submit a job 3. Actual results: Errors in SchedLog Expected results: No errors in Schedlog Additional info: The lock directory is determined though config variable LOCAL_DISK_LOCK_DIR, which defaults to /var/lock/condor/local. However, this directory is not created. Condor nags about this (and falls back to using /tmp/condorLocks) Suggested solution: Adapt /etc/tmpfiles.d/condor.conf to contain extra lines: # Condor needs a /tmp-like dir on a local FS, see LOCAL_DISK_LOCK_DIR d /var/lock/condor/local 1777 condor condor - Actually, the tmpfiles.d manual asks packages _not_ to use /etc/tmpfiles.d/*, but /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/*: "Packages should install their configuration files in /usr/lib/, files in /etc/ are reserved for the local administration, which possibly decides to overwrite the configurations installed from packages." Any hope this can be in 7.7.1, which is out now?
This is a fairly old version of condor, is this still valid? Currently 7.7.3 is available.
It indeed is still valid. The error in the logfile moved however from the SchedLog to TOOLLog: E.g. with condor-7.7.3-0.2.fc16.x86_64 (Fedora 15's version does exactly the same) 12/04/11 13:06:29 STARTING: condor_preen 12/04/11 13:06:29 ******************************** 12/04/11 13:06:29 Can't open directory "/var/lock/condor/local//" as PRIV_UNKNOWN, errno: 2 (No such file or directory) 12/04/11 13:06:29 ******************************** 12/04/11 13:06:29 ENDING: condor_preen Condor 'survives' this error, but places it's locks somewhere else then (/tmp/condorLocks).
I will plan to spin in mod in the 7.7.4 cycle.
