When the mtcAgent locks a node, it commands the mtcClient to create a
persistent .node_locked flag file at /etc/mtc/tmp/.node_locked.
Conversely, when the node is unlocked, the mtcAgent commands the
mtcClient to remove this flag file.
However, an issue arises where an unlocked node may still have the
.node_locked file present after an upgrade-rollback or patch-removal
operation.
The issue occurs because the OSTree upgrade deployment process runs
while the node is locked. During this process, OSTree takes a snapshot
of the /etc directory, which includes the .node_locked file.
Even if the file is later removed by maintenance actions, after deploy
but before reboot, OSTree restores it from the snapshot resulting in
the reinstatement of the .node_locked file on an unlocked node.
To eliminate this file management conflict, this update moves the
persistent .node_locked flag file to a location outside of OSTree's
management, specifically to /var/persist/mtc/.node_locked.
The directory name 'persist' was chosen to clearly indicate that the
files in this directory are intended to persist across reboots.
This update also fixed a post install script logging error trying
to rename the hwclock.sh.<init>.bak file with one already present.
Test Plan:
PASS: Verify the creation of the new /var/persist/mtc directory.
PASS: Verify any files under this directory persist over reboot.
PASS: Verify proper management of the node locked file over upgrade
and rollback.
PASS: Install a AIO DX and verify the node locked file management.
PASS: Verify AIO DX upgrade from MR2PLUS to 24.09 master.
PASS: Install a Standard DX System with 1 worker and 2 storage and
verify the node locked file management over and following an
upgrade from MR2PLUS to 24.09 master.
PASS: Verify obsoleted /etc/mtc/tmp/.node_locked file is auto removed
by both package install and over a mtcClient startup/restart.
PASS: Verify /etc/mtc/tmp dir remains.
PASS: Verify mtce debian package installs without error or warning.
