[Samba] CTDB and nfs-ganesha

Hi there ? I seem to be having trouble wrapping my brain about the CTDB and
ganesha configuration.  I thought I had it figured out, but it doesn?t seem to
be doing any checking of the nfs-ganesha service.

I put nfs-ganesha-callout as executable in /etc/ctdb
I create nfs-checks-ganesha.d folder in /etc/ctdb and in there I have
20.nfs_ganesha.check

In my ctdbd.conf file I have:

# Options to ctdbd, read by ctdbd_wrapper(1)
#
# See ctdbd.conf(5) for more information about CTDB configuration variables.

# Shared recovery lock file to avoid split brain.  No default.
#
# Do NOT run CTDB without a recovery lock file unless you know exactly
# what you are doing.
CTDB_RECOVERY_LOCK=/run/gluster/shared_storage/.CTDB-lockfile

# List of nodes in the cluster.  Default is below.
CTDB_NODES=/etc/ctdb/nodes

# List of public addresses for providing NAS services.  No default.
CTDB_PUBLIC_ADDRESSES=/etc/ctdb/public_addresses

# What services should CTDB manage?  Default is none.
# CTDB_MANAGES_SAMBA=yes
# CTDB_MANAGES_WINBIND=yes
CTDB_MANAGES_NFS=yes

# Raise the file descriptor limit for CTDB?
# CTDB_MAX_OPEN_FILES=10000

# Default is to use the log file below instead of syslog.
CTDB_LOGGING=file:/var/log/log.ctdb

# Default log level is NOTICE.  Want less logging?
CTDB_DEBUGLEVEL=DEBUG

# Set some CTDB tunable variables during CTDB startup?
# CTDB_SET_TDBMutexEnabled=0

CTDB_NFS_CALLOUT=/etc/ctdb/nfs-ganesha-callout
CTDB_NFS_CHECKS_DIR=/etc/ctdb/nfs-checks-ganesha.d
CTBS_NFS_STATE_FS_TYPE=glusterfs
CTDB_NFS_STATE_MNT=/run/gluster/shared_storage
CTDB_NFS_SKIP_SHARE_CHECK=yes
NFS_HOSTNAME=hq-6pnfs



But in the logs, I see nothing relating to nfs-ganesha, and when the ganesha
service fails, the IP?s don?t get migrated and/or the service doesn?t get
restarted.

Any ideas?

You may want to symlink some of the others across, such as
00.portmapper.check.

This should be in ctdb.conf:

[cluster]

  recovery lock = /run/gluster/shared_storage/.CTDB-lockfile

These are no longer used.  The above defaults in /etc/ctdb/ are now
hardwired.  Symlinks can be used if necessary.
> # What services should CTDB manage?  Default is none.

Gone.  Now just enable the event scripts.

Gone.  Either do the right thing in the systemd unit file or put a
ulimit command in /etc/sysconfig/ctdb or /etc/default/ctdb (depending
on distro).
> # Default is to use the log file below instead of syslog.

ctdb.conf:

[logging]
  location = file:/var/log/log.ctdb

However, this is the default so you can just omit it.

If you can use syslog instead, then I strongly suggest you do that
(see ctdb.conf(5) manpage).  CTDB's file logging has no useful way of
rotating the logs. There's an open bug, there are plans, but it is
complicated.
> # Default log level is NOTICE.  Want less logging?

ctdb.conf:

[logging]
  log level = DEBUG

Move all of these to /etc/ctdb/script.options.

Yeah, complete rewrite of configuration handling.  :-)

At some stage where will be another change some time in the future when:

* service event scripts go to /etc/ctdb/events/service/ - not many
  related options to change here...

* failover event scripts go to /etc/ctdb/events/failover/ and most of
  the failover-related tunables become script options

* ...

After that, things should be very easy to understand...  :-)

peace & happiness,
martin

[Samba] CTDB and nfs-ganesha

Martin - thank you for this.  I don't know why I couldn't find any of
this information anywhere.  How long has this change been in place, every
website I see about configuring nfs-ganesha with ctdb shows the old information,
not the new.

Do I need to enable the legacy 06.nfs 60.nfs files when using ganesha?  I assume
no.

[Samba] CTDB and nfs-ganesha

Hi Marin - again thank you for the help.  I can't believe I coundn't
find any info about this big configuration change.  Even the Samba WIKI
doesn't really spell this out at all in instructs you to use ctdbd.conf.

Do I need to enable the 20.nfs_ganesha.check script file at all, or will the
config itself take care of that?  Also, are there any recommendations on which
nfs-checks.d checks should still be used in the nfs-checks-ganesha?

Gluster, nfs-ganesha, ctdb seems like a great combination that's sorely
lacking on proper documentation.  I know there's storhaug that is supposed
to tie this together, but that flat out didn't work for me at all, has poor
documentation and needed manual edits just to get it to work.
