This is the first time I'm proposing an SRU. I've updated the description -- what should I do next? Unassign myself? Subscribe ubuntu-sponsors again?
** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * Any users of collectd that run Ubuntu 14.04 LTS in an OpenVZ container + will no longer be able to track swap usage. This is a regression from + Ubuntu 12.04 LTS + + [Test Case] + + * Get yourself an OpenVC container with some enabled swap space + + * sudo apt-get install collectd + + * Let it run for a few minutes + + * ls /var/lib/collectd/rrd/*/swap/ + + You should see four files there: swap-free.rrd swap_io-in.rrd swap_io- + out.rrd swap-used.rrd + + If you see only two (swap_io-in.rrd swap_io-out.rrd), then you're + affected by this bug + + [Regression Potential] + + * I see no way this could end badly ;) + + * I've backported the upstream patch to a package in my PPA (ppa:pov), + and have been running it since November 2015. + + [Other Info] + + * The upstream bug is https://github.com/collectd/collectd/issues/733. + It has a fix in master for the upcoming 5.5.0 release at + https://github.com/collectd/collectd/commit/8b618e1fb63ca5f8c741e95651bc41cf6e454588, + and a smaller fix suitable for backporting for older versions (since + 5.3.x) at + https://github.com/collectd/collectd/commit/1a146775d42a15202cba4e19c0fcda465705bcb8. + + + [Original Bug Report] + In collectd-5.4.0-3ubuntu2 there is a bug that prevents collectd from collecting information about swap utilization. Here is a corresponding issue on github: https://github.com/collectd/collectd/issues/733 Also the developer provided the minimalistic patch that fixes the issue and would be applicable for 5.4.0: https://github.com/collectd/collectd/commit/1a146775d42a15202cba4e19c0fcda465705bcb8 PS: forwarded from https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/collectd/+question/254877 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1372750 Title: A patch for collecting swap utilization in openvz To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/collectd/+bug/1372750/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
