Question from my own "questions to be asked about glusterfs" pile: Paths. I notice that glusterd requires quite a few path not in the standard hierarchy for /usr/local (or any value of ${prefix}) that will cause it to simply fall over upon first invocation. To wit: > > /var/lib/glusterd (nothing in FreeBSD uses /var/lib at all - /var/db, /var/run and /var/tmp are more canonical locations, depending on what you [the service] are trying to do). > > In fact, ${prefix}/var seems to be generally avoided by most things in ports. /usr/local/var/log is highly atypical, for example. > > This also creates problems for us in FreeNAS since our root filesystem is read-only by default, and we simply make parts of /var (the root /var) r/w to accommodate things wanting to write into /var/log, /var/tmp/, /var/run and so on. I would hope that the port could also be configured to run as a system component, or at least obey a more predictable ${prefix} hierarchy so that we could map things suitably r/w into the location(s) that glusterfs needs to scribble on at runtime. > > I was going to write all of this up in a more exhaustive email but I got side-tracked by other projects. :) > > - Jordan > > > Yup I figured that out and was about to change the /var/lib into /var/db, generally in ports we are trying to enforce everything under ${PREFIX} but /var, that predates me and I have made anything in the direction of changing that, but I try to enforce the "do not touch base but /var" for any ports. including do not touch /etc, right now onlu shells and user additions do touch /etc regards, Bapt [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlOt6TwACgkQ8kTtMUmk6ExWQQCgnJKk0+J31Ct7S7GfjCb4/H7Z dHcAnimSlI0llr3RgqACIz2pwP1Bp6pb =N1xg -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
