Yiping Zhang updated CLOUDSTACK-7974:
-------------------------------------
Description:
We have noticed that entries for hosts which have been destroyed for a long
time still exist in both /etc/dhcphosts.txt and /etc/hosts files on our Virtual
Routers.
To reproduce this bug, just create an instance, note down its MAC and IP
address, then destroy the instance from web UI. Now check virtual router, and
you will find that the entries still exist in /etc/dhcphosts.txt and /etc/hosts
files.
I did a bit more digging on virtual router, and immediately noticed the
following:
1. /root/edithosts.sh script is only called when an instance is created, but
not when an instance is destroyed.
2. After reading /root/edithosts.sh script, I am pretty certain that the
function of this script is to add info about newly created instances into
/etc/hosts and /etc/dhcphosts.txt files. So the script should really be
renamed as /root/addhosts.sh to reflect its true function.
3. there is no script to properly delete entries from /etc/hosts and
/etc/dhcphosts.txt file when instances are destroyed
