And another one - and this one is quite WTF-worthy. It may be the one
that someone (Filipe, maybe?) reported and/or submitted a patch for
recently, but I'm not sure.
OpenOffice seems to have decided to fall over when /home is mounted on
GlusterFS. It was working OK on qa1, but with rc1 it just dies. Removing
the ~/.openoffice.org2.0 directory makes things even worse because it
doesn't get re-created properly - some directories end up being created
as root, which is a neat trick consider OOo is running as an ordinary
user. Those directories also get created with 000 permissions, which is
pretty wrong, since directories have to be executable. This works
correctly if ~/ is on a non-gluster FS.
This is where it gets _really_ weird. If I make a directory
/tmp/.openoffice.org2.0 and try to symlink it to ~/.openoffice.org2.0,
what happens instead is a _real_ directory ~/.openoffice.org2.0 appears,
and the symlink gets created inside it. Where that came from I have no
idea. So, I delete the said directory, and go to the backing store and
create the symlink there. That works fine, but then, open restarting all
the servers there is no directory nor is there a symlink when viewed
with ls! But - if I name the full directory
(/home/gordan/.glusterfs.org2.0/), I can cd into it, and the content is
there, as OOo created it, in /tmp!
And now my head really hurts. It seems that there is something quite
thoroughly broken when it comes to symlink and directory handling. :(
But at least the glusterfs daemon notices that something is wrong:
