Well, I think that's fairly explicit. ;-) It tries to guard against
errors - such as users accidentially trying to clone an ext3 mount.

Do I havet to "hack" the FS agent code to make him ignore every FS ressources that have the "bind" option?
I suppose I would have to modify this statement:

[snip]

Yes, you'll need to detect bind mounts here and permit them.

In my view, cloned "binded" FS ressources (let call it the "B" FS ressource) should always be allowed. Because the original FS ressource (let call it the "A" FS ressource) that is re-mounted as binded is already protected against unauthorized FS resource cloning.

For example, in the case of an ext3 ressource (A), this ext3 FS won't be cloned (FS agent protection) so there won't be any HB/cluster breakage problem if the cloned "binded" remonted FS ressource (B) is allowed. Indeed B can always be mounted on a Linux system but simply won't show files from A. It's up to the cluster designer to set constraints or groups to make B be mounted only if A actually is.

If I'm not wrong, I really think that the FS agent protection against cluster unaware FS should be disabled upstream for "binded" FS ressources.


Please feel free to argue and tell me if I'm wrong :)

Ok, so that works now when modified the agent /usr/lib/ocf/resource.d/heartbeat/Filesystem (added the "grep" to the statement, line 796)

case $FSTYPE in
ocfs2)  ocfs2_init
       ;;
nfs)    : # this is kind of safe too
       ;;
*) if [ -n "$OCF_RESKEY_CRM_meta_clone" ] && echo "$OCF_RESKEY_options" | grep -v -q bind ; then ocf_log err "DANGER! $FSTYPE on $DEVICE is NOT cluster-aware!"
               ocf_log err "DO NOT RUN IT AS A CLONE!"
ocf_log err "Politely refusing to proceed to avoid data corruption."
               exit $OCF_ERR_GENERIC
       fi
       ;;
esac


I'm still convinced this (or something less "dirty hack looking" :)) should be modified in the upstream agent version.


Regards,


Florent.
