Hi,
I've read in the documentation that virtlockd uses SIGUSR1 to dump its
state and then re-execs itself.
Now I tried it and this seems to fail because virtlockd is being
launched without a full path (when using the init script), thus re-exec
fails with the error:
error : virLockDaemonPreExecRestart:1092 : Unable to restart self: No
such file or directory
Changing in the init script the PROCESS variable to
PROCESS=/usr/sbin/virtlockd
fixes this.
Also, concerning the init script:
- HUP seems to crash the daemon, so maybe it's better to be replaced by
SIGUSR1 or removed
- path to process pid file (variable PIDFILE) needed to be changed to
/var/run/$SERVICE.pid
- the path to the config file needed to be changed
(/etc/sysconfig/virtlockd) to contain
VIRTLOCKD_ARGS="-f /etc/libvirt/qemu-lockd.conf"
Hope this helps someone :-)
