Re: [ovirt-users] ;vdsmdummy; provokes several errors
Hi there,
Hi! Let me start by stating that the mailing list you've posted is
deprecated, and should have been closed. vdsm-users-related discussion
should take place on users(a)ovirt.org.
the semicolons in the name of the vdsm-dummy interface provokes
several errors on our RHEV-Hypervisors. We use Fat-Hypervisors which
are fully puppetized. At the moment facter and rkhunter can't handle
the semicolons.
rkhunter:
- ---------------------- Start Rootkit Hunter Scan ----------------------
Invalid ALLOWDEVFILE configuration option: Invalid pathname:
/dev/.udev/db/net:;vdsmdummy;
- ----------------------- End Rootkit Hunter Scan -----------------------
Facter: https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-546
Are those semicolon really necessary?
The motivation for the semicolons was to eliminate the (albeit remote)
chance of of this bridge name colliding with a previously-defined
network. It was introduced two years ago http://gerrit.ovirt.org/9562
and it is a bit two entrenched by now. Modifying it to another string,
while it is used by multiple VM in a distributed cluster of host is a
painful hassle.
It would be much more advisable for puppet to support all device names
acceptable by Linux (anything but ':. \t\0', without adding its own
limitations. I have a vague memory that Foreman encountered the same
problem, and fixed it.

Dan.
