Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I did a strace on the Nagios daemon and found out there's 2 calls to
unlink for each check result file in checkresults.

For example:

stat64("/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/checkresults/cXKYnMY",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=475, ...}) = 0
stat64("/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/checkresults/cXKYnMY.ok",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
time(NULL) = 1242249182
open("/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/checkresults/cXKYnMY", O_RDONLY) = 7
fstat64(7, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=475, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 475, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 7, 0) = 0xb7ee8000
munmap(0xb7ee8000, 475) = 0
close(7) = 0
unlink("/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/checkresults/cXKYnMY") = 0
unlink("/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/checkresults/cXKYnMY.ok") = 0

[......]

unlink("/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/checkresults/cXKYnMY") = -1 ENOENT
(No such file or directory)
unlink("/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/checkresults/cXKYnMY.ok") = -1
ENOENT (No such file or directory)


Any idea about the source of this problem? (if it's one)

Here is the relevant configuration:
temp_path=/usr/local/nagios/var/tmp
check_result_path=/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/checkresults

Both folders are part of 2 different tmpfs filesystems:
tmpfs /usr/local/nagios/var/tmp tmpfs defaults,size=64m 0 0
tmpfs /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/checkresults tmpfs defaults,size=32m 0 0
