Bug #75043 for mogilefs-server: Host status change - bug in mogadm command

Hello all, We encountered an issue today where a typo in the host status change caused the entry in the DB to be blank, and then causing all the trackers to fail. The command entered was: mogadm --trackers=hmogile:7001 host modify hfs40 --status=alivew ==> Failure modifying host: failure Operation failed This resulted in the "status" column of the "host" table to be nulled out for the matching host/hostid, even though the output indicated that the operation had failed. Note that a completely wrong status will yield a different response, and will not update the DB: mogadm --trackers=hmogile:7001 host modify hfs40 --status=klsd ==> Failure modifying host: unknown_state Invalid/unknown state This was observed in version 2.46. It is possible that the string matching pattern function is the same in subsequent versions. Environment: MogileFS::Server INST_VERSION 2.46 MogileFS::Utils INST_VERSION 2.19 Linux 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.centos.plus Perl This is perl, v5.8.8 built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi Thank you to all who helped resolve the issue.
