[Pacemaker] Pure-FTPd resource script is wrong (at least on ubuntu and probably debian)

[Raoul Bhatia [IPAX]]

hi!

as i'm quote familiar with the pure-ftpd script, i'm stepping into
this conversation.

looks good.

what do you mean by that? where is the pidfile hardcoded?

you mean in /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd-wrapper line 172?

well, then this is, imho, the problem of debian/ubuntu's warpper
script not creating the correct directory.

/var/run/pure-ftpd/ is created by the init script "on the fly".
this patch comes from http://bugs.debian.org/506077 and might as well
be replaced/complemented by additional checks in the, debian specific,
wrapper script.

you better send a corresponding bugreport - or even better a patch -
to Stefan Hornburg (Racke) <racke at linuxia.de> and/or the debian/ubuntu
bugtracker.

there is "nothing" that the resource agent can be blamed for.

btw, is this a supported/common configuration? i've never used this
approach

cheers,
raoul

ps. stefan, this discussion is about debian bug 506077 and the hard
coded pidfile in /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd-wrapper and resulting implications
for the "resource agents" in a linux-ha environment.
feel free to directly contact me offlist if you need any more
information on this.
