From c3bbf6aa6c090fd066ab0079aa1c8ae332309d2a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Louis Zuckerman Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 11:16:10 -0500 Subject: Updated the Ubuntu upstart jobs for glusterd in extras/Ubuntu. Using upstart jobs, instead of an initscript, solves Bug 765014. See also: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glusterfs/+bug/876648 The new upstart jobs split the work of starting glusterd & mounting glusterfs volumes into two parts: a glusterd service runner and a glusterfs volume moung blocker which waits for the service runner. This is the method preferred by Ubuntu developers to block a mounting event until a required service is available. These changes will be included in the Ubuntu glusterfs-server package starting with release 12.04, Precise Pangolin. Tested on Ubuntu 12.04 Change-Id: I9bb4e8cb05a1da0997c23f2ef7fea8737f6a2eb9 BUG: 765014 Signed-off-by: Louis Zuckerman Reviewed-on: http://review.gluster.com/2727 Tested-by: Gluster Build System Reviewed-by: Amar Tumballi Reviewed-by: Jeff Darcy Reviewed-by: Anand Avati --- extras/Ubuntu/README.Ubuntu | 28 ++++++++++++++++------------ 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) (limited to 'extras/Ubuntu/README.Ubuntu') diff --git a/extras/Ubuntu/README.Ubuntu b/extras/Ubuntu/README.Ubuntu index 651bd046e..0c5b7828d 100644 --- a/extras/Ubuntu/README.Ubuntu +++ b/extras/Ubuntu/README.Ubuntu @@ -1,20 +1,24 @@ -Bug 3282 - Mounting from localhost in fstab fails at boot on ubuntu -(http://bugs.gluster.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3282) +Bug 765014 - Mounting from localhost in fstab fails at boot on ubuntu +(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=765014) +(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glusterfs/+bug/876648) Ubuntu uses upstart instead of init to bootstrap the system and it has a unique -way of handling fstab, using a program called mountall(8).
