Package: virtuoso-opensource-6.1
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss
Dear Maintainer.
When calling '/etc/init.d/virtuoso-opensource-6.1 stop', virtuoso may still
be running after the script completes. This might lead to database corruption,
e.g. on system reboot.
Seemingly, the script fails to wait for a clean exit of the server in this
section:
<quote>
stop)
log_daemon_msg "Stopping $DESC" "$NAME"
if running ; then
# Only stop the server if we see it running
errcode=0
stop_server || errcode=$?
log_end_msg $errcode
else
# If it's not running don't do anything
log_progress_msg "apparently not running"
log_end_msg 0
exit 0
fi
;;
</quote>
I have modified the script to temporarily circumvent the situation on my system
by enclosing part of this snippet in a while-loop, as below:
<quote>
stop)
log_daemon_msg "Stopping $DESC" "$NAME"
# keep stopping the server if it fails to stop
while running; do
if running ; then
# Only stop the server if we see it running
errcode=0
stop_server || errcode=$?
log_end_msg $errcode
else
# If it's not running don't do anything
log_progress_msg "apparently not running"
log_end_msg 0
exit 0
fi
sleep 2 # wait two seconds before looping
done
;;
</quote>
As my knowledge of rc.d scripts is limited, this was a quick hack to prevent
my database to suffer corruption. My solution does not cater for the need to
force-stop virtuoso. If the server does not exit cleanly at some point, I have
effectively created an infinite loop.
Please fix this situation in a more proper fashion.
Regards
