List of Changes
Snapshots improperly deleted fixed
After volume backups, a "cleanup" process starts by listing backups marked for deletion using inputs to determine how long to keep backups. A condition can be met where one of the backups marked for deletion is still "pending", resulting in the whole backup reported as failed and alerts sent out. With the fix, it will now only log the cleanup of the specific snapshot and show that the backup process was successful.
rightscale_tools gem times out while waiting for pg_start_backup() lock
When running the db::do_primary_backup recipe, the rightscale_tools gem attempts to 'lock' Postgres using pg_start_(). This function makes Postgres write out a checkpoint and gives a consistent place to take a snapshot. This call takes a long time to complete and with the rightscale_tools gem timing out after 60 seconds, the recipe failed and left the lock in place. This issue has been fixed.
