Thread: [Devil-linux-develop] Patch save-config?

Hi,

I want to use heartbeat 2 on DL, which relies on having a
persistent /var/lib/heartbeat between reboots (if all nodes are down at
the same time, the cib would otherwise be lost, and even if the cib is
still around on another node, heartbeat generates new node uuids after a
reboot).

I have hacked save-config to include /var/lib/heartbeat in the tar, and
that solves my issue, but I have two questions:

*) is this safe? Any objections? Foreseeable problems?

*) If I take the time to do this right, would that be an interesting
feature for DL? Where should I set, say, $SAVE_CONFIG_ADDITIIONAL_FILES?
In the root's
environment? /etc/sysconfig/config? /etc/default/save-config?

TIA

Frank

Frank,

In the past we have solved this issue by actually changing the packages to
use a directory within /etc/ (like the dhcp client software).
That being said, having the ability to save other directories might actually
not be a bad idea.

Best Regards
