   http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=703406

** Also affects: cowdancer (Debian) via
   http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=703406
   Importance: Unknown
       Status: Unknown

** Description changed:

  If cowbuilder failed to unmount a bind-mounted directory (device busy
  for example) it unconditionally deletes its content during the clean-up
  phase.
  
  Excerpt from a log with this bug (complete log attached)
  =====
  I: umounting /var/lib/jenkins/cu2d
  umount: /var/cache/pbuilder/build/cow.15281/var/lib/jenkins/cu2d: device is 
busy.
          (In some cases useful info about processes that use
           the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))
  [...]
   -> Cleaning COW directory
    forking: rm -rf /var/cache/pbuilder/build//cow.1195
  rm: cannot remove 
`/var/cache/pbuilder/build//cow.1195/var/cache/pbuilder/ccache': Device or 
resource busy
  rm: cannot remove 
`/var/cache/pbuilder/build//cow.1195/var/lib/jenkins/cu2d/work/experimental/100scopes':
 Device or resource busy
  rm: cannot remove 
`/var/cache/pbuilder/build//cow.1195/var/lib/jenkins/cu2d/launchpad.cache': 
Directory not empty
  =====
  
  The 'rm' command must skip directories on other filesystems
  
  This bug occurs when pbuilder fails to mount a bindmounted directory,
  then fails to unmount previously successfully mounted directories. This
  condition is not so rare when executing several cowbuilder processes in
  parallel using the same bind-mounted directories.
  
+ There is no easy way to reproduce this issue:
+ - Start several cowbuilder in parallel (in our system we run around 40) and 
bind mount the same source directories
+ - patch /usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-modules lines 275 to 291 to fail on 2nd 
bindmount then fail when it tries to unmount one of the successfully mounted 
directory.
