fog creates thousands of new empty images - after one deletion
-
This sounds like a fun one…
Turn off apache first. Ubuntu isservice apache2 stopcentos/fedora/RHEL issystemctl stop httpdor for older centos iit’s the same as ubuntu.From here, we must wait for the bug fix, and clean up images manually in MySQL.
-
What version of fog are you running?
THis sounds like a bug that was in 1.2 (albeit very rarely did it happen).
-
@Tom-Elliott this if fog 1.2.0. Install date 28 Jul 2014
-
@Handtuch Yours is only the second case of this I’ve heard of. I’m pretty sure this is fixed in trunk.
I’m almost going to guess you’re on an imaging spree right now? I’ll even further guess you have a bunch of systems waiting to checkin, and some of them are likely reporting node failures.
-
@Wayne-Workman thanks. apache2 is now stopped. We’re going to deploy images to hundreds of computers this week…
-
@Tom-Elliott We’re indeed on an imaging-spree. Up- and download continued to work normally - at least within the first hour after the start of this nightmare. A bunch of systems were waiting to checkin, but that might be the normal consequence of out host limit.
-
@Handtuch It kind of is, and it’s the only situation in which I can see this issue even being potentially possible of happening. Please try upgrading to trunk. All should be well, of course feel free to take a snapshot or make a backup before. Trunk, while not necessarily perfect, is MUCH faster and overall more stable than 1.2.0 was. Yes 1.2.0 was released, but there’s a reason development continues moving forward.
-
@Tom-Elliott thanks for this idea. Do you assume upgrading will fix this problem - or will it “only” prevent it to re-appear again?
-
@Handtuch It won’t fix what went strange, but it should prevent it from re-appearing.
-
@Handtuch it will fix it in the sense that fake images will stop being made. You will still need to play the cleanup game in MySQL. When I’m at a real computer I can provide commands for this.
-
@Wayne-Workman @Tom-Elliott thanks for your advice. I’m in the process of upgrading right now.
-
@Wayne-Workman @Tom-Elliott
You were wrong
After upgrading to trunk, the empty images disappeared automagically. Let’s hope everything will work like expected on tomorrow’s next imaging-spree. At least, this specific problem has been solved.
Thanks a lot. I really mean it. -
@Handtuch I have been working hard and I don’t remember all the work I’ve done.
-
@Handtuch cool. Glad to be wrong in this case lol.
-
@Tom-Elliott And you can’t calculate all the hours you’ve saved for other admins.
