[sheepdog-users] [sheepdog-0.9.2] Late creation of pid file

[Marcin Mirosław]

Hi!
I noticed that sheepdog creates pid file very late. E.g.:
Sep 29 11:46:54   INFO [main] md_add_disk(343)
/data/sheepdog_storage/obj, vdisk nr 6280, total disk 1
Sep 29 11:46:55 NOTICE [main] get_local_addr(522) found IPv4 address
Sep 29 11:46:55   INFO [main] send_join_request(1032) IPv4
ip:192.168.1.230 port:7000 going to join the cluster
Sep 29 11:47:06   INFO [main] check_host_env(500) Allowed open files
1000000, suggested 6144000
Sep 29 11:47:06   INFO [main] main(958) sheepdog daemon (version 0.9.2)
started
Sep 29 11:47:06  ERROR [nfs] nfs_init_transport(133) svc_register udp,
failed

Pid was created at:
$ stat -c %y /run/sheepdog/sheepdog
2015-09-29 11:47:06.369753495 +0200

Sheep needed 12 seconds to create pid file, init script wasn't happy
because it couldn't find pid in 5 seconds (I can configure init scripts
to wait longer but how long should it wait? 10, 20 seconds?). Is any
special reason that pidfile can't be created much earlier?
