The crontask:

*/5 * * * * root [ -x /usr/sbin/ganeti-watcher ] && /usr/sbin/ganeti-watcher

emails me every five minutes:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/ganeti-watcher", line 21, in <module>
    sys.exit(main.Main())
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/ganeti/watcher/__init__.py", line 766, in Main
    lock = utils.FileLock.Open(constants.WATCHER_LOCK_FILE)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/ganeti/utils/filelock.py", line 76, in Open
    return cls(os.fdopen(os.open(filename, os.O_RDWR | os.O_CREAT), "w+"),
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/lock/ganeti-watcher.lock'

Adding a symlink /var/lock -> /lock fixes this, but I get the impression from the other "One or more symlinks to directories have been preserved" messages I get that this should be fixed in the ebuild.

Sorry, that should have been /var/lock -> /run/lock

I got the same problem with app-emulation/ganeti-2.11.1-r1

[Comment 3 Patrick McLean 2014-06-14 23:26:36 UTC]

This should be fixed in ganeti-2.10.5-r2 and ganeti-2.11.2-r1.
