Hello there,

I have been playing around with OpenVZ and Ploop devices for quite a while now and right now I am stuck with a rather weird problem, which I like to share with you.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Environment:
OS: CentOS 6.4 x86_64
Kernel version: 2.6.32-042stab081.5 #1 SMP Mon Sep 30 16:52:24 MSK 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Ploop-Version: ploop-1.9-1.x86_64

Testscenario:
1. Created Ploop-Image with the following command:
ploop init -s 8G -f expanded -t ext4 /storage/plooptest/test1/root.hdd


Creating delta /storage/plooptest/test1/root.hdd bs=2048 size=16777216 sectors v1

Creating balloon file .balloon-c3a5ae3d-ce7f-43c4-a1ea-c61e2b4504e8
Mounting /dev/ploop43259p1 at /storage/plooptest/test1/root.hdd.mnt fstype=ext4 data=''
Unmounting device /dev/ploop43259


Works!

2. Mounted the newly created image with the following command:
mount -t ploop /storage/plooptest/test1/DiskDescriptor.xml /stroage/plooptest/mount/test1


Opening delta /storage/plooptest/test1/root.hdd
Adding delta dev=/dev/ploop43259 img=/storage/plooptest/test1/root.hdd (rw)
Mounting /dev/ploop43259p1 at /storage/plooptest/mount/test1 fstype=ext4 data='balloon_ino=12,'


Works!

3. Tried to unmount the device with the following command:
umount /storage/plooptest/mount/test1


Error in read_line (util.c:151): Can't open or read /sys/block/ploop43259p1/dev: No such file or directory
Unmounting device /dev/ploop43259p1
Error in ploop_stop (ploop.c:865): PLOOP_IOC_STOP: No such device
/usr/sbin/ploop umount -d /dev/ploop43259p1 command failed
Error in read_line (util.c:151): Can't open or read /sys/block/ploop43259p1/dev: No such file or directory
Unmounting device /dev/ploop43259p1
Error in ploop_stop (ploop.c:865): PLOOP_IOC_STOP: No such device
/usr/sbin/ploop umount -d /dev/ploop43259p1 command failed


The devie is still there in this scenario. I can read and write from/to it. However in another scenario yesterday the mountpoint was gone at the output of command "mount" but existed in /proc/mounts. The device was inaccesible (I got IO-Errors from it, when trying to access the directory). I will try to reproduce that and if possible post some data here later.

Any ideas?
Am I doing something wrong?
Is there a detailed documentation about ploop anywhere in the internet?

kind regards

Arne

please try use ploop util direct for unmounting, like

# ploop umount /storage/plooptest/test1/DiskDescriptor.xml -m /storage/plooptest/mount/test1

Is this ploop dev unmounted? (fixed a typo)

Well, this procedure is missing the obvious errors, but the result is still not entirely satisfying:

Ran the following command:
ploop umount /storage/plooptest/test1/DiskDescriptor.xml -m /storage/plooptest/mount/test1


Output:
Unmounting file system at /storage/plooptest/mount/test1
Unmounting device /dev/ploop43259


but:
mount

/dev/cciss/c0d0p3 on / type ext4 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 on /boot type ext4 (rw)
/dev/cciss/c0d1p1 on /storage type ext4 (rw)

sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)

while:

As you can see "mount" still thinks, that the device is mounted, while it is actually unmounted.

Thank you for your help so far. I can work with this solution for now by ignoring /etc/mtab and /bin/mount respectively.

you can delete the entry of ploop in /etc/mtab manually, it is a debris.
the umount helpers exited befor deleting the mtab entry.
