RaBhat, can we do 'ps aux| grep glusterfs| grep -v grep' to check the process is running before issuing the signal?
Better to use pgrep/pkill - we try to avoid launching pipelines from sos (or simply suppress the error from the attempted kill).
This happens because the gluster plugin decided to roll its own callout mechanism: #self.collectExtOutput("killall -USR1 glusterfs glusterfsd") os.system("killall -USR1 glusterfs glusterfsd"); Don't do that: use the already provided PluginBase APIs: callExtProg() collectExtOutput() collectOutputNow() In this instance the first is probably correct since the plugin doesn't care about storing the output in the report. self.callExtProg("killall -USR1 glusterfs glusterfsd") Should do what you want.
I've fixed this upstream on master: commit adc1be1ecab468aed5dbac64b7b7d1ce0cc92180 Author: Bryn M. Reeves <bmr@redhat.com> Date: Tue Apr 8 13:48:40 2014 +0100 Replace os.system() in gluster plugin with self.check_ext_prog() Plugins should not open-code calls to external commands. Use the build-in check_ext_prog() interface instead and test for success before attempting to collect the statedump files. Signed-off-by: Bryn M. Reeves <bmr@redhat.com> The RHEL6 version will be slightly different as we don't currently have checkExtProg(). We can either backport that (trivial) or adapt the gluster change to use callExtProg() and check the returned status.
A partner reports the glusterfs: no process killed glusterfsd: no process killed on a rhel6.6beta. I am irritated that this bz is for 6.4, yet component was set to RHS. Should the component be changed, or a different bz be opened?
