I think if you run git blame ./patches/systemvm/debian/config/root/userdata.sh
There's several changes done to this particular piece of code. The vm_data file is used for AWS-style "metadata" and user data http://s.apache.org/amX http://s.apache.org/PJH From: <Musayev>, Ilya <imusa...@webmd.net<mailto:imusa...@webmd.net>> Date: Monday, April 15, 2013 3:47 PM To: "dev@cloudstack.apache.org<mailto:dev@cloudstack.apache.org>" <dev@cloudstack.apache.org<mailto:dev@cloudstack.apache.org>>, Chiradeep Vittal <chiradeep.vit...@citrix.com<mailto:chiradeep.vit...@citrix.com>> Subject: [BUG][ACS41] vm_data updates router VM .htaccess file with duplicate RewriteRules ++Chiradeep, as I see your name referenced in the script. Noticed an odd behavior on ACS41 and vSphere, where each time you deploy a VM, on router vm under /var/www/html/latest/ the .htaccess file gets duplicate set of rewrite rules appended. Vm_data is called each time VM is deployed, and each time redundant RewriteRules are added to .htaccess file – per each run/vm demployment. Before I begin troubleshooting and fixing this issue (I can help rewrite the bash logic for checking if entry exists), could someone please give me a context as to how and when vm_data file is used. Also, for some reason metadata/meta-data Rewrite Rule is missing, I would like to understand where the call is made and how $folder variable is set. Thanks ilya
