I am also having this same difficulty. Before today I was using net-libs/gnutls-2.6.6 which worked with csync-1.34, but today my masking of gnutls was causing the world update to block. On one of my test machines I updated to gnutls-2.8.4 causing csync2 to rebuild. The build worked, but like the OP it segfaults on sync. I need this working as it is integral to my master/slave setup.

strace of csync2 segfaulting
The output of `strace csync2 -x` ending in a SEGFAULT
Lazy CC (In reply to comment #2) > Created an attachment (id=210730) [details] > strace of csync2 segfaulting > The output of `strace csync2 -x` ending in a SEGFAULT Do you mind to re-run that csync2 command with a lot of -v options and post the output? Something like: csync2 -vvvvvvvvvvv -x should do the work. Lazy CC me too... Created attachment 210732 [details]
As requested, csync with lots of v's
A very verbose csync2 -x using many -v flags.

It seems that the problem happens after ssl/tls handshake. It may be the code which checks and eventually stores a certificate, but I can't say at the moment. Adam, if you can, I would suggest rebuilding the csync2 executable this way: CFLAGS="-O0 -g" LDFLAGS= FEATURES=nostrip emerge -v csync2 then start a gdb session issuing: gdb /usr/sbin/csync2 and finally run the csync2 from gdb issuing: r -x Your csync2 session should then start as usual. At the SIGSEGV, the gdb prompt should show again such that you may issue the following command: bt which will show a back-trace list of the nested calls which drove to the problem. Please somehow copy and post here that list. If you work from a terminal emulator, you may probably copy-and-paste that list. If your terminal can't, try turning session logging/capturing on and you'll get the list into the capture file. Ugh, slave driver :) Okay, I'm working on that now. Created attachment 210746 [details]

diff -rud with respect to the basic csync-1.34-pure-gnutls.patch
Ok,
it seems that there is a problem with the patch.
This is the patch to the csync-1.34-pure-gnutls.patch patch.
In order to run this, I suggest to firts download the patch I attached here in your home dir (say MYHOME), then issue:
ebuild /usr/portage/sys-cluster/csync2/csync2-1.34.ebuild unpack
This will create the build environment for csync2 *and* apply the csync-1.34-pure-gnutls.patch file shipped with it. The last line of the command output should show where this environment is located. cd to that path and then cd further into the csync2-1.34 directory you should find there.
At that point issue the command:
patch </MYHOME/csync-1.34-pure-gnutls-r0-to-r1.patch
This will patch the patch.
To build and install the new csync2, issue:
ebuild /usr/portage/sys-cluster/csync2/csync2-1.34.ebuild compile
ebuild /usr/portage/sys-cluster/csync2/csync2-1.34.ebuild install
ebuild /usr/portage/sys-cluster/csync2/csync2-1.34.ebuild qmerge
Then check if csync2 is now working.
Let me know: if it works, I have to create a new patch to substitute the shipped one...
Following your instructions csync2 now is fully operational with the current version of gnutls! For those wanting a quick method, here's a quick command to do the operation: cd ~ && \ ebuild /usr/portage/sys-cluster/csync2/csync2-1.34.ebuild clean && \ ebuild /usr/portage/sys-cluster/csync2/csync2-1.34.ebuild unpack && \ cd /var/tmp/portage/sys-cluster/csync2-1.34/work/csync2-1.34 && \ patch < ~/csync-1.34-pure-gnutls-r0-to-r1.patch && \ ebuild /usr/portage/sys-cluster/csync2/csync2-1.34.ebuild compile && \ ebuild /usr/portage/sys-cluster/csync2/csync2-1.34.ebuild install && \ ebuild /usr/portage/sys-cluster/csync2/csync2-1.34.ebuild qmerge I tested the above on four servers. I'm now going to push this to the rest of the servers so that I can finally get them operational again. Thanks so much!

It would be wonderful, if this could flow into the official ebuild soon. ;-) Created attachment 211154 [details, diff] New version of the shipped patch Urs and Christian, the r1 version of the patch to be shipped via portage had been published at bug#274213 . I don't know if you did or didn't get notified about any new comment to that bug, since it is now closed.... Anyway, in order to avoid any problem in getting the patch, I'm going to add it here too. Sorry, I marked it as worksforme. Didn't know, that this would close the ticket... I don't know either: I was speaking of bug#274213 ... Anyway, I guess reopening this one too souldn't hurt. What's the status of this updated patch being pushed out officially? We've been using it for weeks now without issue. We have added another Gentoo server to our mix. This one, though, is running amd64 instead of x86. Using the same instructions to build with the updated patch works very well. I have had no issues with csync2 between the amd64 and x86 machines. Created attachment 235723 [details]
Proposed csync2-1.34-r1 ebuild + patch + init script
I can second the fact that with the r0-to-r1 patch, csync2 installs and is stable on both amd64 and x86 (tested on 4 servers)
I'm attaching the modified csync2 portage branch which includes :
- the r1 ebuild itself and its manifest
- the patch file in the files folder
- a gentoo init script for the standalone lovers (the ebuild installs it)

I've got the feeling that the problem is the Gentoo Linux High-Availability Clustering Team, which is the assignee of this bug, is actually orphaned... See http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/metastructure/oldprojects.xml . I would try to "Reassign bug to default assignee of selected component", whatever this may mean. Anybody know if this is going to make any difference? I don't know what it will take, but it would be quite nice to have this fix in the repository. The work around is easy enough to implement, but it's still one of those things. Well, no. I saw that option while logged out, but once logged in it turns out we can't do that...

Maybe we should try our luck and ask on IRC ? As a sidenote, if there is really nobody taking care of the clustering side of Gentoo, maybe we could learn how to do something about it ? I really dunno how it is done but heartbeat et al need some taking care of too for instance (the scarabeus repo guys did some good job about it).

(In reply to comment #23) > I would be grateful if you could check whether I missed something. Hi Kacper. It looks fine. Only a cosmetic note to records: the HAVE_LIBGNUTLS_OPENSSL #define should be really named HAVE_LIBGNUTLS instead, since the openssl-compatible library from gnutls is not used anymore. But this is something that may probably be more interesting to upstream than gentoo. Thanks for bringing all this to life! |
