Some keepdirs should fix this, I think. Changing the 'install' command to a 'keepdir' command (and making the chroot mandatory) in pbs_createdirs seems to fix it on my system, at any rate. jakub@gentoo.org 2006-09-26 13:48:48 0000 Don't restrict bugs without any reason. Just leave the checkboxes alone. dberkholz@gentoo.org 2006-09-26 14:05:10 0000 Good catch. We can't just change it, because the function also gets run in pkg_postinst(). ian@syndicated-productions.com 2006-09-26 14:09:07 0000 yeah, plus only certain dirs need it, and it depends on whether we're USEing 'server' or not.. dberkholz@gentoo.org 2006-09-26 14:16:13 0000 I added a little fix into 2.1.2-r1 -- should hit rsync in an hour or so. ian@syndicated-productions.com 2006-09-27 08:47:12 0000 Almost perfect. all appropriate dirs are kept, however pbs_server for some reason seems to think that the .keep file in server_priv/queues is a queue file and tries to parse it. This is actually messing up my real queue on server restart oddly enough :( I'm working on a patch to make pbs_server ignore dot-files, as it seems super-easy and i can't see this limitation causing any operational issues.. Would this be better than risking server_priv/queue be removed due to no .keep? ian@syndicated-productions.com 2006-09-27 09:49:35 0000 update -- a browse of the source indicates that que_recov reading an empty file should clean itself up properly, so my issue must be elsewhere (possibly the way queues are malloc'd).. So if we dont mind the error message on pbs_server start, i guess nothing needs to change.
