Bug 156004 – sys-cluster/openpbs needs keepdir on empty directories

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sebastiaan 2006-11-23 01:06:27 UTC]

OpenPBS has has empty directories in /var/spool/PBS, which are removed when re-emerging openpbs. After re-emerging a second time:
--- !found dir /var/spool/PBS/undelivered
--- !found dir /var/spool/PBS/spool
--- !found dir /var/spool/PBS/server_priv/queues
--- !found dir /var/spool/PBS/server_priv/jobs
--- !found dir /var/spool/PBS/server_priv/acl_users
--- !found dir /var/spool/PBS/server_priv/acl_svr
--- !found dir /var/spool/PBS/server_priv/acl_hosts
--- !found dir /var/spool/PBS/server_priv/acl_groups
--- !found dir /var/spool/PBS/server_priv/accounting
--- !found dir /var/spool/PBS/server_priv
<<<        obj /var/spool/PBS/server_name
--- !found dir /var/spool/PBS/server_logs
<<<        obj /var/spool/PBS/sched_priv/sched_config
<<<        obj /var/spool/PBS/sched_priv/resource_group
<<<        obj /var/spool/PBS/sched_priv/holidays
<<<        obj /var/spool/PBS/sched_priv/dedicated_time
--- !found dir /var/spool/PBS/sched_logs
--- !found dir /var/spool/PBS/mom_priv/jobs
--- !found dir /var/spool/PBS/mom_priv
--- !found dir /var/spool/PBS/mom_logs
--- !found dir /var/spool/PBS/checkpoint
--- !found dir /var/spool/PBS/aux

I had a similar issue when making another ebuild: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-515183-highlight-.html

I am not sure if removing these directories confuses PBS, but it sure confused me when reading the manual.

I suggest adding:
keepdir ${PBS_SERVER_HOME}/undelivered
keepdir ${PBS_SERVER_HOME}/spool
etc. for all !found directories above.

The .keep files are likely to confuse OpenPBS if it's anything like Torque (which it is). It may treat them as queue files. See bug #149327 -- you may be able to port that patch across.

Modified openpbs-2.3.16-r4.ebuild with keepdir and patch.

Is there more information on how to reproduce this error (bug 149327)? I applied the patch, but I cannot confirm that there was really a bug to solve.

Closing as openpbs is no longer in the tree.
