Hi Josh,
I have a question regarding latest changes that were introduced for log file
settings. It seems like now log.py is trying to change mode of log files
using:
os.chmod(self.logpath, FLAGS.logfile_mode)
I’m completely fine with it for all modules except nova-manage… It is
required to start nova-manage as a superuser even for “read” type of
operations (otherwise it fails with following)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "bin/nova-manage", line 1819, in <module>
main()
File "bin/nova-manage", line 1759, in main
logging.setup()
File "/home/vlad/cactus/vsa/nova/nova/log.py", line 298, in setup
logging.root = NovaRootLogger("nova")
File "/home/vlad/cactus/vsa/nova/nova/log.py", line 242, in __init__
NovaLogger.__init__(self, name, level)
File "/home/vlad/cactus/vsa/nova/nova/log.py", line 137, in __init__
self.setup_from_flags()
File "/home/vlad/cactus/vsa/nova/nova/log.py", line 260, in
setup_from_flags
os.chmod(self.logpath, FLAGS.logfile_mode)
OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/var/log/nova/nova-manage.log'
One of possible workarounds might be to issue chmod only if log’s file mode
is different from requested one. Something like that may work:
import stat
st = os.stat(self.logpath)
if st.st_mode != (stat.S_IFREG | FLAGS.logfile_mode):
os.chmod(self.logpath, FLAGS.logfile_mode)
Am I missing anything?
Thanks,
-Vladimir
