Hi Ling,

Thanks for looking at this! I was troubleshooting this issue some more this morning and something, unbeknownst to me, fixed the issue. I have no idea what changed but it seems to be resolved now....

Sure wish I knew what was breaking it! :-)

Russell,
Can you comment out line 106 "return 1" from /opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT_plugin/syncfiles.pm and try again? Please restart xcatd.

Thanks,

Ling

Subject: [xcat-user] xCAT 2.9 Syncfiles error
------------------------------------------------------------------------



xCAT 2.9

Hi all,

I have a centos 6.6 image with the following contents in the synclist file for the osimage:

/install/custom/v6.6.0-dl-compute-apu/sync/etc/modprobe.d/lustre.conf -> /etc/modprobe.d/lustre.conf
APPEND:
/install/custom/v6.6.0-dl-compute-apu/sync/etc/fstab -> /etc/fstab

When my compute nodes boot up and execute the script it takes a couple of minutes, which seems way too long for syncing 2 text files. I get a "syncfiles exited with code 0" in the xcat.log file on the node, while in /var/log/messages on the management node I get:

Jan 27 16:07:57 evxcat xCAT[27685]: xCAT: Allowing syncfiles from n0
Jan 27 16:08:09 evxcat xCAT[27753]: xCAT: Allowing syncfiles from n0
Jan 27 16:08:24 evxcat xCAT[27805]: xCAT: Allowing syncfiles from n0
Jan 27 16:08:45 evxcat xCAT[27858]: xCAT: Allowing syncfiles from n0
Jan 27 16:09:00 evxcat xCAT[27909]: xCAT: Allowing syncfiles from n0
Jan 27 16:09:16 evxcat xCAT[27960]: xCAT: Allowing syncfiles from n0
Jan 27 22:09:18 n0 xCAT: ./syncfiles: Perform Syncing File action encountered error

Looking at the end result the files are synced fine, and my /etc/fstab is appended properly.

So it seems like the Syncfiles script can't seem to make up its mind if it exited with an error or not (code 0 usually = good!).

Any ideas what the issue could be?------------------------------------------------------------------------------
