Package: xfsprogs
Version: 6.13.0-2+b1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
I've struggled with this for a while because all my logs were spammed by
hundreds of lines of:
postfix/postdrop[37291]: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file
maildrop/480926.37291: Permission denied
And it took me a long while to dig this down to xfs_scrub reporting.
Problem setup:
- mailer is postfix, which uses a setgid /usr/sbin/postdrop binary to
write to /var/lib/postfix/maildrop (mode 0730, group postdrop)
- the systemd unit for the xfs_scrub reporting,
/usr/lib/systemd/system/xfs_scrub_all_fail.service, contains:
# xfs_scrub needs these privileges to run, and no others
CapabilityBoundingSet=
NoNewPrivileges=true
Together, this means that the script
(/usr/libexec/xfsprogs/xfs_scrub_fail) composes the email, and pipes it
to "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i", which in turn invokes the postdrop
binary, but which can't get the sgid bit. But since it calls sendmail
repeatedly, I get for a few days, every hour, hundreds of flagged log
entries by logcheck.
Now, the Trixie kernel seems to not support scrubbing anyway, so I can
simply disable this, but it would be better to fix this and do an update
(in trixe), otherwise the log spamming is really annoying.
Thanks!
