Description Martin Mokrejš 2009-06-11 09:39:38 UTC

Upon startup of gmetad I get in syslog:

Jun 11 11:20:58 nfssrv /usr/sbin/gmetad[21158]: Please make sure that /var/lib/ganglia/rrds is owned by nobody


Indeed, that is the culprit causing gmetad to exit:

# ls -la /var/lib/ganglia/rrds
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun  5 15:29 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun  5 15:29 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 Jun  5 15:29 .keep_sys-cluster_ganglia-0



After assigning ownership to nobody.nobody I see gmetad after its new startup running:

# netstat -l
[cut]
tcp        0      0 *:8651                  *:*                     LISTEN     
tcp        0      0 *:8652                  *:*                     LISTEN
