disk_Check: Scan & mount as RW when disk turns into Read-only (#1872)

renukamanavalan · web-flow · commit e648290b51fa · 2021-11-19T16:47:12.000-08:00
* disk_check: Check & mount RO as RW using tmpfs (#1569) What I did There is a bug that occasionally turn root-overlay as RO. This makes /etc & /home as RO. This blocks any new remote user login, as that needs to write into /etc & /home. This tool scans /etc & /home (or given dirs) as in RW or RO state. If RO, it could create a writable overlay using tmpfs. This is transient and stays until next reboot. Any write after the overlay will be lost upon reboot. But this allows new remote users login. How I did it Create upper & work dirs in /run/mount (tmpfs). Mount /etc & /home as lowerdirs and use the same name for final merge. This allows anyone opening a file in /etc or /home to operate on the merged overlay, transparently. How to verify it Mount any dir on tmpfs ( mount -t tmpfs tmpfs test_dir) remount as RO (mount -o remount,ro test_dir) Pass that dir to this script. (disk_check.py -d ./test_dir) Now it should be RW

+What:
+    There have been cases, where disk turns Read-only due to kernel bug.
+    In Read-only state, system blocks new remote user login via TACACS.
+    This utility is to check & make transient recovery as needed.
+
+How:
+    check for Read-Write permission. If Read-only, create writable overlay using tmpfs.
+
+    By default "/etc" & "/home" are checked and if in Read-only state, make them Read-Write
+    using overlay on top of tmpfs.
+
+    Making /etc & /home as writable lets successful new remote user login.
+
+    If in Read-only state or in Read-Write state with the help of tmpfs overlay,
+    syslog ERR messages are written, to help raise alerts.
+
+    Monit may be used to invoke it periodically, to help scan & fix and
+    report via syslog.
+
+Tidbit:
+    If you would like to test this script, you could simulate a RO disk
+    with the following command. Reboot will revert the effect.
+        sudo bash -c "echo u > /proc/sysrq-trigger"
