dmraid.ddf1 directory about sos HOT 6 CLOSED

If I understand your question right, you would like SoS to scoop up an arbitrary file, i.e. dmraid.ddf1, and place it into the archive containing all of the other log files, i.e. /tmp/sosreport-*.tar.xz. If that understanding is correct, then you should know that this is generally not how SoS works.

The config files, log files, cmd output, etc. that SoS collects are specifically defined by plug-ins. For example, there is a Apache plug-in to collect Apache HTTPD related config files and log files. In your specific case, the plug-in that would be capturing dmraid type information is called devicemapper.py (sosreport/sos/plugins/devicemapper.py).

To summarize, the information that SoS collects from a system is strictly defined by individual plug-ins. If you want something collected that is not in a plug-in then please elaborate on what it is and why you might want it collected.

Cheers,

No, I trying to say that directory dmraid.ddf1 MUST be in archive because sosreport/sos/plugins/devicemapper.py plugin is enabled. But even that it's not happend. In redhat I run sosreport by hand and diretory dmraid.ddf1 creating in place where I run.

Hi boskiv,

It doesn't look like the devicemapper plugin copies any files. It shells out and calls many utilities, like dmraid, to gather information about configured devices.

Were you expecting sosreport to copy the $PWD/dmraid.ddf1/ directory when you ran sosreport --batch from the $PWD?

This must be generated by the calls to dmraid; I'll have a look at the source to try to work out where this comes from, otherwise I'll need to find some DDF1 metadata to test with.

from sos.

man dmraid:

       {-r|--raid_devices} [device-path...]
              List  all discovered RAID devices with format, RAID level, sectors used and data offset into the device.  In case a metadata format handler is chosen with -f
              , only RAID devices with such format can be discovered. Useful if devices have multiple metadata signatures.  If -D is added to -r  the  RAID  metadata  gets
              dumped  into a subdirectory named dmraid.format_name (eg. format_name = isw) in files named devicename.dat.  The byte offset where the metadata is located on
              the device is written into files named devicename.offset and the size of the device in sectors into files named devicename.size.

I don't think we want to collect this by default.

Fixed in commit 74b88d7.
