I'm trying to install RT 4.2.9 into a volume in OpenAFS. I have the vast majority of it working fine (with the patch I posted last week adding @ to the acceptable characters in a path in lib/RT/I18N.pm). However, there is one problem I'm still seeing.
This chunk of code in sbin/rt-fulltext-indexer works fine when the script is on a RW filesystem but fails when the file is in a RO filesystem like AFS: use Fcntl ':flock'; if ( !flock main::DATA, LOCK_EX | LOCK_NB ) { if ( $OPT{quiet} ) { RT::Logger->info("$0 is already running; aborting silently, as requested"); exit; } else { print STDERR "$0 is already running\n"; exit 1; } } I'm not a Perl writer (or even reader, really) so I don't know if it would be an easy change to add an optional command line argument to let the admin specify a lock file (e.g. /var/lock/rt-fulltext-indexer) for it to use instead of flocking itself. nomad
