Hi Glenn, Thanks for jumping in with bzr and helping out. Your expertise is greatly appreciated.

Which means that anything that needs root access to the files needs to run on vcs. Meaning cronjobs. Cronjobs still need to run on vcs. vcs0 has no disk space. Eventually the FSF will bring those new disks they got online and we will be able to replace vcs with new disk space. But until then we have no disk space. Therefore we are still using vcs for disk space. vcs0 NFS mounts vcs at /net/vcs with a boot time mounted mountpoint. Saying that to be explicit that /net is not an automounter. Any path other path needs a symlnk to get to that data. root@vcs0:~# ll /srv lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Dec 3 16:15 /srv -> net/vcs/srv Standard NFS rules apply. Including root_squash. Root on vcs0 has no special permission on vcs0. Root on vcs0 can't be root on /net/vcs anywhere. If you need root access you must log into vcs. (Currently. If we get another VM I would set up one of them as a root admin node over NFS without root squash. But that is a future direction.) On vcs0 any other user is fine. Standard user:group permissions apply and those are okay over NFS. > Poking around, it looks like: > > On vcs, /usr/local/bin/sv_membersh is used > On vcs0, /opt/savannah/savane/backend/accounts/sv_membersh is used instead /opt/savannah/savane/backend/accounts/sv_membersh is a checked out copy of the git source for Savannah's savane source code. That is the source code copy of the file. That isn't the live file. vcs:~# getent passwd rwp rwp:x:65821:1003:Bob Proulx:/srv:/usr/local/bin/sv_membersh root@vcs0:~# getent passwd rwp rwp:x:65821:1003:Bob Proulx:/srv:/opt/savannah/bin/sv_membersh The live file is /srv:/opt/savannah/bin/sv_membersh on vcs0 and /usr/local/bin/sv_membersh on vcs. We are trying to consolidate everything about Savannah in /opt/savannah now as opposed to having things scattered here and there around the system. That consolidation is not complete but making progress. Having said that, now that everthing (version control tools) is moved from vcs to vcs0 the only one that matters is the vcs0 version. The vcs sv_membersh is no longer active. No ssh access to vcs for version control tools now. Now all is idle there. It is now only serving disk data by NFS. It is now a pure NFS server. Except for the local cronjobs that still need to run there. > vcs0:sv_membersh is not synced with vcs:sv_membersh . > In particular, it is missing all the bzr changes I made years ago. > I'm not sure how that could happen, but perhaps I am not looking at the > right file.

It is possible that in all of the happenings that files did not get copied from the correct source. Because each of the five VMs have their own copies of that file. Thanks for jumping in and helping out here! Bob
