Hi. My company is using lvs. We're actually using RedHat's pulse/lvsd/piranha. I know that this list isn't specifically about pulse and lvsd, but I thought that there might be some interest in what we're doing. We've noticed a few issues with pulse and lvsd. We have at least one local patch, and plan on making several more.
I cribbed and slightly modified an internal wiki page about our proposed changes and bugs. In particular there is at least one verified bug in lvsd (mis-indexed re-read of config file), some missing features (as the documentation implies, or is missing - pulse re-reading the config file, doesn't pay attention to the status of it's child lvsd), nanny doesn't check it's arguments carefully and may unexpectedly exit etc. For a full detailed description of all the issues we've found, and for our proposed solutions, please see: http://clift.org/fred/lvs/lvs.html Are there other known issues with these programs that we might likely trip over? In particular are there nanny options that currently are arguably non-valid parameters (cause immediate nanny exit) - for example, a timeout of 0 is one. Are there others? Anyway, I'd appreciate anyone's feedback on our proposed changes Thanks. Fred Clift [email protected] Verio Inc.
