[Bug 1816045] Re: secureboot-db: release upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 modifies changelog.gz but resets mtime

2020-09-04 Thread Oliver O.
Thanks for explaining. I am using an internally developed, Python-based
backup system. It makes backups from Btrfs snapshots and regularly
verifies the integrity of the entire restore process. The verification
shows discrepancies such as the one above.

As most backup systems rely on mtime to detect changes for performance,
I suppose this is really a widespread problem. It probably goes
undetected in the majority of cases as backup systems usually don't do
100% integrity verification lacking file system snapshots.

My backup system uses regexp-based filtering to switch from mtime to
content change detection. In this case the relevant line in its YAML
configuration file is:

  - { pattern: '^usr/share/doc/[^/]*/changelog[^/]*$', filter:
compare-contents }

The problem is not just limited to package installation files as this
excerpt shows:

  - { pattern: '^var/lib/sudo/', filter: compare-contents }
  - { pattern: '^var/lib/machines$', filter: compare-contents }
  - { pattern: '^var/cache/man/(.*/)?index\.db$', filter: compare-contents }

And there are even more entries in my list. I wonder whether tinkering
with mtime is really such a good idea...

[Bug 1891515] [NEW] ucf overwrites diverted configuration file breaking unattended upgrades - upstream fix available

2020-08-13 Thread Oliver O.
Public bug reported:

An unattended security upgrade (package dovecot-core) failed,
interrupting mailbox service. The cause was ucf replacing a custom
configuration file which had been diverted (using dpkg-divert) by a
custom configuration package.

Excerpt from /var/log/apt/term.log:
---

[Bug 1816045] [NEW] secureboot-db: release upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 modifies changelog.gz but resets mtime

2019-02-15 Thread Oliver O.
Public bug reported:

During a release-upgrade from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04, the file
/usr/share/doc/secureboot-db/changelog.gz is modified, but retains its
original mtime. This will interfere with incremental backups, which will
fail to pick up the updated file.

The file's first line has changed
from: secureboot-db (1.4~ubuntu0.16.04.1) xenial; urgency=medium
to:   secureboot-db (1.4~ubuntu0.18.04.1) bionic; urgency=medium

... but the file time for both file versions is identical:

Tested Ubuntu 4.4.0-63.84-generic 4.4.44 on a desktop system with a
workload which previously led to Chrome processes being OOM-killed.

Situation with 4.4.0-62-generic: between 8 and 54 processes OOM-killed per 
24-hour period
Situation with 4.4.0-63-generic: no OOM-kills during 46 hours of testing

Look solved. No negative side-effects encountered.

Hope the SRU will be accepted quickly. Should be the case, since this
issue causes loss of user data as applications will have no reason to
retry files writes under out of space conditions.

2016-05-23 Thread Oliver O.
Another 24 error-free hours on the server with the test kernel running
the MySQL/Icinga2 combination and creating btrfs snapshots every 5
minutes.

I'd like to add that this server, which previously experienced frequent false 
ENOSPC conditions with the Xenial release kernel, used a fairly plain btrfs 
configuration at all times:
- The '-o nodatacow' mount option was *not* used (in contrast to the test 
script).
- Disabling copy-on-write (CoW) on a per-file basis (using chattr +C) was *not* 
used.

#  mount | grep /volumes/01
/dev/sda2 on /volumes/01 type btrfs 
(rw,noatime,nodiratime,ssd,space_cache,subvolid=5,subvol=/)

# lsattr /var/lib/mysql/ibdata1

[Bug 1584052] Re: btrfs: file write crashes with false ENOSPC during snapshot creation since kernel 4.4 - fix available

2016-05-22 Thread Oliver O.
The Xenial test kernel with a pick of 4da2e26 resolves the bug, no
negative side effects were encountered.

With the Xenial release kernel, there were 18 MySQL server crashes in a
24 hour period due to false ENOSPC indications. With the test kernel,
not a single crash occured in a 24 hour period.

Additionally, I've checked with a script derived from
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/7967161/ (see attachment), which
creates a temporary btrfs test image in a plain file. The script
provoked ENOSPC errors with the release kernel on most runs (sometimes
it missed, presumably due to timing conditions). The script could not
provoke a single ENOSPC condition with the test kernel.

I have now installed the kernel image on a server which previously
experienced MySQL crashes every 1 to 2 hours. The server uses MySQL for
an Icinga2 monitoring database (so it's frequently writing) and is
configured to create btrfs snapshots every 5 minutes.

[Bug 1584052] [NEW] btrfs: file write crashes with false ENOSPC during snapshot creation since kernel 4.4 - fix available

2016-05-20 Thread Oliver O.
Public bug reported:

Kernel 4.4 introduced a btrfs bug where a process writing a file while a
snapshot creation is underway will receive a false ENOSPC error (No
space left on device), even while there is plenty of free space on the
file system. On systems where snapshots are created frequently, this
leads to frequent database crashes (here with MySQL):

2016-05-19T21:00:01.862106Z 0 [Warning] InnoDB: Retry attempts for writing 
partial data failed.
2016-05-19T21:00:01.862133Z 0 [ERROR] InnoDB: Write to file ./ibdata1failed at 
offset 1048576, 16384 bytes should have been written, only 0 were written. 
Operating system error number 28. Check that your OS a
nd file system support files of this size. Check also that the disk is not full 
or a disk quota exceeded.
2016-05-19T21:00:01.862143Z 0 [ERROR] InnoDB: Error number 28 means 'No space 
left on device'

The problem is well known: 
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg52672.html
A patch is available: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/7967161/
The patch has been committed to the Linux Kernel source tree on Feb 18, 2016: 
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commits/master/fs/btrfs/file.c

Creating snapshots for undo and backup purposes without interrupting
database operations is a central aspect of btrfs usage. This bug breaks
server operations and should be fixed in the xenial kernel.

[Bug 1411633] [NEW] man-db's manipulation of index.db mtime timestamp interferes with incremental backups

2015-01-16 Thread Oliver O.
Public bug reported:

It appears that since version 2.7.0, man-db manipulates the mtime
timestamp of /var/cache/man/de/index.db in a way that the content may
change, while the timestamp is reset to its previous value (see
attachment).

See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/foundations-
bugs/2014-September/209326.html

This interferes with incremental backups which pick up files via their
modification timestamps. Such backups will miss updated files which do
not have their mtime timestamps changed accordingly. Automated
comparisons between such backups and (btrfs snapshots of) their source
data will fail. The integrity of such backups cannot be guaranteed.

Package: man-db 2.7.0.2-2

** Affects: man-db (Ubuntu)
