Hi Russell,
Thanks for the debugging.
Is this diskless or diskful deployment? When you say "reboot", did
you mean redeploy?
Could you grep /var/log/messages for "Allowing xdcp" and show me the
output. “Error from pping” can only happen when calling xdcp with -v
option. But I checked the code for updatenode -F and did not see xdcp was
called with a -v option, so I am confused.
Thanks,
Ling

Some further debugging, I ran "updatenode n1 -F" to try a manual syncfiles
on the node that showed this error during boot and it completed, but also
stated "Error from pping". I ran pping and updatenode -F again, and I am
also unable to reproduce that error from pping. Further reboots of n1 does
not result in any syncfiles errors.
Really difficult to track this down. Any insight would be appreciated!

Hi Ling,
Unfortunately I am running into this issue again, seemingly at random. Can
we revisit this? Are there areas within the syncfiles scripts where I can
get it to tell me *what* the error is that it is encountering as opposed
to just saying "Perform Syncing File action encountered error" ?
Thanks!

Hi Russell,
Sure, that is a good news. I tried on a RH6.4 node and it worked
fine.
Thanks,

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,

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?
