Hello,
This is my first post to this list. I was unable to find any
previous mention of an issue like this, nor was I able to find a better
place to submit this (bug report?) to. I'm not a Solaris expert (I am
pretty good with Linux and BSD though - including writing low-level
system code). It is entirely possible that I'm off my rocker and that I
somehow and at fault.. but I doubt it :)
The server in question is a Sun x4600 ("thumper"). It is a 64 bit
AMD server running Solaris 10 (SunOS 5.10) [1]. The system has a few
small volumes and one HUGE 16TiB volume (in a zpool). This ZFS volume
is exported as several volumes over NFS.
Nagios was installed following the instructions on terdmonk's web
site [2]. Nagios itself runs on a remote Gentoo Linux box. I use nrpe
on the Solaris box to execute the plugins. I have ruled out nrpe as the
source of the problem. I think that the problem is in the plugin's
(check_disk) call to "statvfs".
First, the interesting output of "df" (full output at [3]):
(thumper: 14:35:10 </>) 0 # df -h | egrep "^(\/dev\/.*|swap|zpool1) "
/dev/md/dsk/d10 11G 5.6G 4.8G 54% /
swap 2.2G 752K 2.2G 1% /etc/svc/volatile
/dev/md/dsk/d30 5.8G 1.1G 4.7G 19% /var
swap 2.2G 32K 2.2G 1% /var/run
zpool1 17T 57G 16T 1% /zpool1
Now the output of "/opt/csw/libexec/nagios-plugins/check_disk):
(thumper: 14:06:26 </>) 0 # /opt/csw/libexec/nagios-plugins/check_disk

And the tail-end of the system traces of "check_disk":

_exit(0)

DISK UNKNOWN - free space:|

_exit(3)
From the man page on "statvfs" on Solaris 10:
ERRORS
The statvfs() and fstatvfs() functions will fail if:
EOVERFLOW One of the values to be returned
cannot be represented correctly in
the structure pointed to by buf.
yuck. But, at the bottom of the man page:
USAGE
The statvfs() and fstatvfs() functions have transitional
interfaces for 64-bit file offsets. See lf64(5).
Inside the man page of "lf64":
<sys/statvfs.h>
struct statvfs struct statvfs64
fsblkcnt_t f_blocks; fsblkcnt64_t f_blocks;
fsblkcnt_t f_bfree; fsblkcnt64_t f_bfree;
fsblkcnt_t f_bavial; fsblkcnt64_t f_bavial;
fsfilcnt_t f_files; fsfilcnt64_t f_files;
fsfilcnt_t f_ffree; fsfilcnt64_t f_ffree;
fsfilcnt_t f_favail; fsfilcnt64_t f_favail;
So, it looks like there is a solution. The actual code is in
"nagios-plugins-VERSION/gl/fsusage.c".
But what I don't know how to do is suggest the solution to the
appropriate party(ies). Hence this post.
If I did make a code change, who would I send it to?
