Hello,
A few days ago we ran into an issue where Jenkins reported that two instances
were running with the same host directory:
--------
Error
Jenkins detected that you appear to be running more than one instance of
Jenkins that share the same home directory '/var/lib/jenkins'. This greatly
confuses Jenkins and you will likely experience strange behaviors, so please
correct the situation.
This Jenkins:1541674003 contextPath="" at 29119@NPG-CID-Jenkins-OR Other
Jenkins:1541674003 contextPath="" at 29119@NPG-CID-Jenkins-OR
--------
The two identifiers reported were exactly the same. Looking at the source, I
found 'core/src/main/java/hudson/util/DoubleLaunchChecher.java', and, from
there, found the following entry in the Jenkins log file:
--------
2020-03-17 01:14:10.096+0000 [id=66] SEVERE
hudson.util.DoubleLaunchChecker#execute: Collision detected.
timestamp=1584403930000, expected=1584403930092
--------
Note that the time stamps are a mere 92 milliseconds apart and appear to be
from the same instance. At first I expected that this might be a filesystem
timestamp resolution issue, but running 'ls -a --full-time' showed that the
filesystem did indeed support high-resolution timestamps (output snipped):
--------
-rw-r--r-- 1 jenkins jenkins 53 2020-03-20 11:50:10.193592799 -0700
.owner
--------
I also wrote a quick Java test program to see if the timestamping code worked
as expected, and it did indeed:
--------
import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
public class Test {
public static void main(String args[]) {
File timestampFile = new File(".owner");
long t = timestampFile.lastModified();
try {
FileUtils.writeStringToFile(timestampFile, "Oh God how
did this get here I am not good with computer");
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("It broke");
}
long t2 = timestampFile.lastModified();
System.out.println("Old Timestamp: " + t);
System.out.println("New Timestamp: " + t2);
}
}
--------

--------
So now I suspect that perhaps the DoubleLaunchChecker is erroneously being run
twice on startup, but am not sure how I would test that hypothesis.
Has anyone seen this issue before, or have any ideas how to debug it?
Since the issue appears to be a false positive we've gone ahead and told
Jenkins to ignore the issue for now.
Thanks,
Wade
