When I was pushing an app to my CF in AWS, the following staging error occurred.
2016-08-23T16:12:13.59+0000 [DEA/0] OUT Got staging request for app with id 71e82161-f1e8-408f-bd0f-fe8701284e83
2016-08-23T16:12:13.64+0000 [API/0] OUT Updated app with guid 71e82161-f1e8-408f-bd0f-fe8701284e83 ({"state"=>"STARTED"})
2016-08-23T16:12:16.05+0000 [API/0] ERR Encountered error: Stager error: failed to stage application:
2016-08-23T16:12:16.05+0000 [API/0] ERR Failed setting cpu shares: No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - /tmp/warden/cgroup/cpu/instance-19qntmnpnj1/cpu.shares
I ran bosh ssh to access one of my runner VMs and ran sudo su - and then ls /tmp/warden/cgroup to see what was going on there. To my surprise, nothing was listed in the output! I had no idea where to even start debugging this error since it looked like something did not go right inside warden itself which I wasn’t familiar with. I then asked for help in the CF slack #runtime-org channel, Dan Lavine and Sandy Cash were very helpful, they pointed me in the right direction to look in cloudfoundry’s [warden/root/linux/setup.h][cloudfoundry/warden/root/linux/setup.h].
After digging into the code, I figured out that the problem is due to the control group fs not being initialized as expected after a VM restart. The reason I was stopping and starting the VMs in my IaaS provider (AWS in my case) was because I was helping save costs while working by turning the VMs off at the end of the workday and back on when I started work the next day, I guess most people don’t do this 🙂
I appreciate that we can get help from the CF community and thank Dan Lavine and Sandy Cash again for their help and also for merging my pull request!
