GitHub user mwaag closed a discussion: Directory /var/cloudstack not created (cloudstack 4.18.2.4 / Ubuntu)
Hi, iam trying to rotate our old management-server, based on outdated os and replace them with ubuntu-based management-hosts. Here is what i do so far (using https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/4.18.2.4/installguide/management-server/index.html) - Prepare OS - Configure Package Repo https://download.cloudstack.org for ubuntu jammy (because i still need 4.18 atm) - Install packages cloudstack-management, -usage, -common (Version 4.18.2.4) - copy db.properties of one of the other Servers and replace (instead of using cloudstack-setup-databases) the generic one - execute cloudstack-setup-management cloudstack-management then starts fine and the web-interface is reachable, but there are some errors in /var/log/cloudstack/management/management-server.log: ``` 2025-06-13 11:17:54,634 ERROR [o.a.c.s.NfsMountManager] (BackgroundTaskPollManager-6:ctx-74c87b2f) (logid:2752ce59) Unable to create mount: /var/cloudstack/mnt/345049466209.7b38fd2 2025-06-13 11:17:54,635 ERROR [o.a.c.s.NfsMountManager] (BackgroundTaskPollManager-6:ctx-74c87b2f) (logid:2752ce59) Unable to create mount: /var/cloudstack/mnt/345049466209.6650a7d 2025-06-13 11:17:54,635 ERROR [o.a.c.s.NfsMountManager] (BackgroundTaskPollManager-6:ctx-74c87b2f) (logid:2752ce59) Unable to create mount: /var/cloudstack/mnt/345049466209.74a4a218 2025-06-13 11:17:54,635 ERROR [o.a.c.s.NfsMountManager] (BackgroundTaskPollManager-6:ctx-74c87b2f) (logid:2752ce59) Unable to create mount: /var/cloudstack/mnt/345049466209.5e6a7e1a 2025-06-13 11:17:54,635 ERROR [o.a.c.s.NfsMountManager] (BackgroundTaskPollManager-6:ctx-74c87b2f) (logid:2752ce59) Unable to create mount: /var/cloudstack/mnt/345049466209.5e0936f5 2025-06-13 11:17:54,636 ERROR [o.a.c.s.NfsMountManager] (BackgroundTaskPollManager-6:ctx-74c87b2f) (logid:2752ce59) Unable to create mount: /var/cloudstack/mnt/345049466209.3effc941 2025-06-13 11:17:54,636 ERROR [o.a.c.s.NfsMountManager] (BackgroundTaskPollManager-6:ctx-74c87b2f) (logid:2752ce59) Unable to create mount: /var/cloudstack/mnt/345049466209.a93d98b 2025-06-13 11:17:54,636 ERROR [o.a.c.s.NfsMountManager] (BackgroundTaskPollManager-6:ctx-74c87b2f) (logid:2752ce59) Unable to create mount: /var/cloudstack/mnt/345049466209.72ec9776 2025-06-13 11:17:54,636 ERROR [o.a.c.s.NfsMountManager] (BackgroundTaskPollManager-6:ctx-74c87b2f) (logid:2752ce59) Unable to create mount: /var/cloudstack/mnt/345049466209.2cdd8c2d 2025-06-13 11:17:54,636 ERROR [o.a.c.s.NfsMountManager] (BackgroundTaskPollManager-6:ctx-74c87b2f) (logid:2752ce59) Unable to create mount: /var/cloudstack/mnt/345049466209.19f01fe3 2025-06-13 11:17:54,636 ERROR [o.a.c.s.NfsMountManager] (BackgroundTaskPollManager-6:ctx-74c87b2f) (logid:2752ce59) Unable to create mount point for nfs://172.27.249.130/bi_nfs_sec_01 ``` When i look at the given path, there is no /var/cloudstack directory at all. Is this relevant for clean functionality? We use a separate nfs-server for secondary Storage which is reachable and the export is mountable, just to be sure i can test it, but following the log messages there is a problem with creating the mount-directories not with reaching the nfs-export. ``` ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx PING xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=0.331 ms 64 bytes from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: icmp_seq=2 ttl=63 time=0.455 ms 64 bytes from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: icmp_seq=3 ttl=63 time=0.264 ms ``` ``` mount -t nfs xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/bi_nfs_sec_01 /mnt/ ls /mnt/ 2501-311-a4ff37ec-efdd-3ed5-b03a-927c705974d6 snapshots systemvm template volumes ``` Checking on the other two hosts i see following directory-structure / permissions: ``` ls -lah /var/cloudstack/ total 4.0K drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 35 Apr 4 2022 . drwxr-xr-x. 20 root root 285 Apr 4 2022 .. drwxrwx---. 4 cloud cloud 38 Oct 10 2024 management drwxrwx---. 25 root cloud 4.0K Jun 10 15:00 mnt ``` The errors disappear when i manually create these directories as well but i expect the package cloudstack-management to create those dirs. Checking the package on the old hosts indicates this: ``` rpm -ql cloudstack-management | grep var /var/cache/cloudstack/management /var/cloudstack/management /var/cloudstack/mnt /var/log/cloudstack/ipallocator /var/log/cloudstack/management /var/run/cloudstack-management.pid ``` The cloudstack-java-process is running as user 'cloud' which is expected, because it's the same on the old management-hosts. Additionally i cannot remember needing to create those directories manually in the past. What could be wrong here?
