Bug 740724

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0.1

The startup of services is done through systemd in openSUSE 12.1. systemd supports old lsb scripts, but is not fully lsb compliant in handling the startup of those. The lsb standard for init scripts forces, that a status call to a service that is not fully running does not return a status of 0, but systemd does so.

For this reason the resource manager pacemaker for high availability systems does not work, because it manages the services through the lsb scripts and they must conform to the lsb standard for the resource monitoring to work. If pacemaker makes a request to check the status of a resource and wants to know if it has to be restarted because it crashed, it will not detect the crash because systemd does continue to report a service status of 0, even if the service has crashed.

In consequence that means that the two provided packages systemd and pacemaker do not work together under openSUSE 12.1

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
The following steps require mysql

Actual Results:  
opensuse121:~ # rcmysql status
redirecting to systemctl
mysql.service - LSB: Start the MySQL database server
          Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/mysql)
          Active: active (exited) since Wed, 11 Jan 2012 10:34:02 +0100; 20s ago

          CGroup: name=systemd:/system/mysql.service
opensuse121:~ # echo $?
0

After a crash, still return a status of 0.

Expected Results:  
opensuse121:~ # rcmysql status
redirecting to systemctl
mysql.service - LSB: Start the MySQL database server
          Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/mysql)
          Active: active (exited) since Wed, 11 Jan 2012 10:34:02 +0100; 20s ago

          CGroup: name=systemd:/system/mysql.service
opensuse121:~ # echo $?
3 or 4

Should return a status code that shows up that the service is not running

In the following article it is mentioned, that pacemaker wont work with systemd because it is not lsb compliant
