[LU-10627] tests/utils: lhsmtool_posix now runs lt-lhsmtool_posix and breaks tests

• Type: Bug
• Resolution: Fixed
• Priority: Minor
• Fix Version/s: Lustre 2.12.0
• Labels: HSM patch test
• Severity: 3
• Assignee: James A Simmons
• Reporter: CEA

Description

When running tests locally lhsmtool_posix is a bash script that internally runs lustre/utils/.libs/lt-lhsmtool_posix. I assume this is due to the use of libtool in the compilation process.

Running pgrep "lhsmtool_posix" now yields no pid since the actual process is named "lt-lhsmtool_posix".
This breaks quite a lot of tests in sanity-hsm.

Okay I looked into this problem and found the solution. If you add the following it disables creating libtool executable wrappers.
prog_LDFLAGS = -no-install

Now that I'm testing Ubuntu 18 on my local system I will be testing lustre without installing it so I will look to fix this. The easy way to fix this is change $LUSTRE/utils/ to $LUSTRE/utils/.libs but I'm also looking at using env to properly set the PATH variable so the right application would be used.

Hi John,

Your workaround works for me, thanks!

Hi James,

I tried what you suggested (before using ./configure --disable-shared) but it did not work. The main issue is that sanity-hsm uses killall "lhsmtool_posix" to kill copytools (unlike pkill, killall only affects processes whose name fully matches its arguments). Since internally, the libtool-generated lhsmtool_posix calls exec lt-lhsmtool_posix, killall fails to find any matching process.
