Hi,
I am working on an academic research project using nfs-ganesha. I am trying to do some
debugging and believe that logging messages are going missing.
For example, I am trying to trace when writes occur in FSAL/FSAL_VFS/file.c:vfs_write2.c.
I put a four logging messages in using LogDebug, and only one that shows entry into the
function gets logged - the others which surround the write and show function exiting do
not appear in the log. I have put some code in that writes my own trace messages to a file
so I can see that these other log messages should also be appearing as the flow of control
passes through them, but they are not written.
Is there some throttling mechanism that I am running into? Or something else that I might
need to be aware of?
Thanks

No, there's no throttling. If anything at a given log level / component
is written, it all should be written. One thing to check is if they're
all the same component, and which components have logging enabled.

Could it be because the LogDebug is between vfs_set_credentials() and
vfs_restore_ganesha_credentials()? Between those, the thread is running as
a different user and won't have write permissions to the log file.
Thanks,

Pradeep,
Good thought. You’re right, if you do a log inside a set credentials block, it won’t show
up.
Two fixes for development debug if you can’t move the log outside the set credentials
block:
Change the permissions of the log file to world writeable.
Use syslog instead of logging to a file (I’m pretty sure with syslog we keep a syslogd
connection open for the duration so it shouldn’t be affected by current process
credentials, and may not be affected by fsuid/fsgid anyway which is what set credentials
changes (it leaves euid/egid alone).

Could it be because the LogDebug is between vfs_set_credentials() and
vfs_restore_ganesha_credentials()? Between those, the thread is running as a different
user and won't have write permissions to the log file.
