[Bug 722201] [NEW] CTDB port is not aware of Ubuntu-specific NFS Settings

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Rafael David Tinoco (rafaeldtinoco):

[Impact]

 * SAMBA CTDB cluster suite does not work for High Available NFS setups
 * LP: #1821775 - ctdb cannot create PID file
 * LP: #1828799 - Package ctdb does not create directories in /var/lib/ctdb

[Test Case]

 * Installing CTDB and trying to start the service (check /var/log/ctdb/ctdb.log):
   - no /etc/ctdb/nodes file, can't start
   - /var/lib/ctdb/volatile does not exist
   - and some other errors addressed in here

[Regression Potential]

 * very small chances of causing issues to other parts of samba
 * ctdb app is placed in a specific directory and is not working nowadays

[Other Info]
 
 * Documentation on how to enable this SRU: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ctdb-create-a-3-node-nfs-ha-backed-by-a-clustered-filesystem/11608

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:

 * Anything else you think is useful to include
 * Anticipate questions from users, SRU, +1 maintenance, security teams and the Technical Board
 * and address these questions in advance

Binary package hint: ctdb

CTDB suppose to detect distro-specific Samba/NFS/Apache settings, or at
least provide the way to manual tweaking/config of ctdb. In the current
state looks like ctdb has been ported from RH-based distribution and its
partially aware of some Debian-specific settings/files/scripts
locations, but completely unaware of Ubuntu. For examle: ctdb is able to
control NFS daemons, but it never looks for /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-
server for startup or /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server for settings.

1) Found on Ubuntu 10.04
2) CTDB version: 1.0.108-3ubuntu3
3) Expected: ability of ctdb to control nfs-kernel-server
4) Happened: without significant ctdb script changes (adding sections, aware of ubuntu-specific nfs- and samba- config- and startup scripts locations) ctdb is not able to function properly
