Description of problem: The rpms created by compiling upstream gluster git (master) - as of Sun 21st April 2013 - don't seem to be including /etc/init.d/glusterfsd. However, the installation rpm for glusterfs-server still seems to be expecting it, so a (non-fatal) error occurs at rpm installation time: $ sudo yum install glusterfs-3git-1.el6.x86_64.rpm glusterfs-debuginfo-3git-1.el6.x86_64.rpm glusterfs-devel-3git-1.el6.x86_64.rpm glusterfs-fuse-3git-1.el6.x86_64.rpm glusterfs-server-3git-1.el6.x86_64.rpm [verbose content snipped] Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Installing : glusterfs-3git-1.el6.x86_64 1/9 Installing : libgssglue-0.1-11.el6.x86_64 2/9 Installing : libtirpc-0.2.1-5.el6.x86_64 3/9 Installing : rpcbind-0.2.0-11.el6.x86_64 4/9 Installing : fuse-2.8.3-4.el6.x86_64 5/9 Installing : glusterfs-fuse-3git-1.el6.x86_64 6/9 Installing : glusterfs-server-3git-1.el6.x86_64 7/9 error reading information on service glusterfsd: No such file or directory Installing : glusterfs-devel-3git-1.el6.x86_64 8/9 Installing : glusterfs-debuginfo-3git-1.el6.x86_64 9/9 [etc] Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Upstream glusterfs git master, head branch, commit a1db18cf7a6cde96f2e5b920ffbbf88e72a21fd4. How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build new glusterfs rpms on EL6 using the official instructions at http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/CompilingRPMS. 2. Install the glusterfs-server rpm. Error occurs here.
upstream glusterfs.org rpms have historically not provided a /etc/init.d/glusterfsd (or /var/lib/systemd/system/glusterfsd.service). Nor have downstream RHS rpms either, fwiw. upstream fedoraproject.org rpms do have a /etc/init.d/glusterfsd (or /var/lib/systemd/system/glusterfsd.service) But see http://review.gluster.org/5179 (release-3.4) and http://review.gluster.org/5230 (master) and feel free to review. In particular see the commit comment about "still considering whether to add fedora glusterfsd.{init,service} files to glusterfs or remove them from fedora." *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 950083 ***
Understood. I don't have a preference either way about the inclusion of glusterfsd in init.d (and maybe systemd equivalent?). The problem I'm referring to in this bug is the warning message here: "error reading information on service glusterfsd: No such file or directory" Something is creating that warning, which we should fix. Whether it's by including the glusterfsd it's referring to, or just nuking the warning, I don't have a preference for. My Gluster installation seems to be working fine (regardless of underlying OS), even when this warning happens... so maybe we should just kill the warning?
