Description Jeffrey Lang 2013-07-14 17:00:42 UTC 
When building CTDB and using the --prefix option the generated system is improperly configured.

The build system assumes the CTDB is to be installed at /, and when the --prefix statement is used generates incorrect paths, i.e.

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ctdb

the Makefile that generated assumes that

ETCDIR = /usr/local/ctdb/etc/ctdb

Which if you run the "make showlayout" does not match.

This error is also hard coded into the ctdbd.c options list.
Comment 1 Martin Schwenke 2016-08-10 08:50:54 UTC 
This is properly fixed in CTDB in Samba >= 4.4.  It is too invasive to backport.

Some of these issues were fixes in earlier versions but the fixes in 4.4 are comprehensive.
