Re: [Libguestfs] [PATCH 3/3] sysprep: rework and fix cron-spool operation (RHBZ#1229305)

When cleaning the directories with cron/at jobs, remove only files there, as subdirectories might be used by other systems; for example in Debian under /var/spool/cron/ there is the atjobs subdirectory with the actual at queue. Make sure to not remove .SEQ files anymore, as they represent the at job counter which is needed by the at daemon. Instead, reset these files to 0. Furthermore, add also the path to the .SEQ location in Debian-based systems. --- sysprep/sysprep_operation_cron_spool.ml | 27 ++++++++++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 20 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/sysprep/sysprep_operation_cron_spool.ml b/sysprep/sysprep_operation_cron_spool.ml index 687a7e9..888b97a 100644 --- a/sysprep/sysprep_operation_cron_spool.ml +++ b/sysprep/sysprep_operation_cron_spool.ml @@ -18,19 +18,32 @@ open Sysprep_operation open Common_gettext.Gettext +open Common_utils module G = Guestfs let cron_spool_perform (g : Guestfs.guestfs) root side_effects = - Array.iter g#rm_rf (g#glob_expand "/var/spool/cron/*"); + let is_seq path = + let basename = + try last_part_of path '/' + with Not_found -> path in + basename = ".SEQ" in + let reset f = + if g#is_file f then + (* This should overwrite the file in-place, as it's a very + * small buffer which will be handled using internal_write. + * This way, existing attributes like SELinux labels are + * preserved. + *) + g#write f "00000\n" in + + rm_rf_only_files g ~filter:is_seq "/var/spool/cron/"; + reset "/var/spool/cron/atjobs/.SEQ"; Array.iter g#rm (g#glob_expand "/var/spool/atjobs/*"); - Array.iter g#rm (g#glob_expand "/var/spool/atjobs/.SEQ"); + reset "/var/spool/atjobs/.SEQ"; Array.iter g#rm (g#glob_expand "/var/spool/atspool/*"); - Array.iter - (fun path -> if not (g#is_dir path) then g#rm path) - (g#glob_expand "/var/spool/at/*"); - Array.iter g#rm (g#glob_expand "/var/spool/at/.SEQ"); - Array.iter g#rm (g#glob_expand "/var/spool/at/spool/*") + rm_rf_only_files g ~filter:is_seq "/var/spool/at/"; + reset "/var/spool/at/.SEQ"
