RE: SingleCopy Nirvana - stat warnings

[Luke Youngblood]

I know, bad form and all to reply to my own email.  I just wanted to let everyone know that I resolved the database issues.  I was originally using the SMC package 2.1.13, and updated to the Blastwave version 2.1.14 on recommendations from Christian.  I guess the Blastwave version didn’t like reading databases that were created by the SMC package.  Deleting the databases in question allowed cfagent to re-create them the next time it was run, so that is fixed.

 

I’m still having issues with the stat messages and hoping someone could help me out here.  In the SingleCopy Nirvana wiki page, he references a patch to cfservd that removes the stat messages unless you execute it with a –v.  Is there a similar patch for cfagent, or does anyone know of an easy way to do this?

 

Thanks,

 

Luke

Subject: SingleCopy Nirvana - stat warnings

 

Hi,

 

I’m new to cfengine and I wanted to first say thanks for making a great product.  I just started using it a few days ago and I can already see how this is going to revolutionize our server infrastructure.

 

Anyway, I decided to use the SingleCopy Nirvana example that is illustrated on cfwiki, and I’m running into a small issue.  Whenever cfagent runs, I get some messages emailed to the admin account:

 

cfengine:ansauth1: Can't stat /etc/cfengine/etc/profile.ansauth1 in copy

cfengine:ansauth1: Can't stat /etc/cfengine/etc/profile in copy

cfengine:ansauth1: Can't stat /etc/cfengine/etc/resolv.conf.ansauth1 in copy

cfengine:ansauth1: Can't stat /etc/cfengine/etc/resolv.conf in copy

 

I know these aren’t anything to worry about, since it is simply matching one of the three statements, but is there any way to shut up cfagent so that it ignores “Can’t stat” errors?  I don’t want to get an email every hour.

 

Also, I’m getting these messages as well, any ideas?

 

cfengine:: Couldn't open last-seen database /var/cfengine/cf_lastseen.db

cfengine:: db_open: Invalid argument

cfengine:: Couldn't open lock database /var/cfengine/cfengine_lock_db

cfengine:: db_open: Invalid argument

cfengine:: Couldn't open persistent state database /var/cfengine/state/cf_state.db

cfengine:: db_open: Invalid argument

cfengine:ansauth1: Couldn't open last-seen database /var/cfengine/cf_lastseen.db

cfengine:ansauth1: db_open: Invalid argument

 

Thanks in advance for your help.
