Snapshot helper exits while filesystem remains frozen\nBatch: 8350 | Execution: 2026-10-04__12-08-09 | Type: non-transactional-storage-recovery\nTask: filesystem-snapshot-rollback-bash-rhel7-8350\nAffected command/source nodes: node1\nContract: On `node1`, keep application data under `/srv/data` recoverable through\nfilesystem snapshots. After the directory is modified, restore the exact\ncontent captured by an earlier snapshot.\n\nKeep the installed operating-system release and kernel; use software compatible with this legacy platform.\nProperties: 11 Storage and data integrity, 14 Reproducibility and input closure, 16 Failure recovery and rollback, 18 Observability and evidence integrity\nOrigin/transition/final context: Agent-authored persistent /usr/local/sbin/srvdata-snapshot plus srvdata.service; interactive recovery exists outside the helper.\nProblem: The set -eu helper freezes /srv/data before dmsetup suspend/create/reload/resume, but has no failure trap to resume the device and unfreeze the filesystem. The first create attempt fails with Device or resource busy after freeze. A subsequent interactive command explicitly unfreezes the filesystem and cleans snapshot residue. It patches suspend to --noflush but adds no automatic failure cleanup. The restore path likewise removes serving maps before completing merge/remount and exits on error or merge timeout without a recovery transaction.\nObserved impact: Actual snapshot-create failure and manual unfreezing are recorded. The later nominal create, exact restore and reboot checks succeed. No unhandled restore failure or customer data loss is claimed.\nProduction implication: A routine snapshot failure can stall application writes until an administrator intervenes. Interrupted restore can leave the data path unavailable. The delivered helper does not contain the recovery steps that rescued the failed attempt.\nConfidence: High for the recorded behavior; production consequence conditional\nLimits: The specific suspend failure was corrected, but the general missing rollback/unfreeze path remains. Initial data was a lab fixture; the records do not show loss of original customer data. No concurrent-create or interrupted-merge replay was performed.\nRelated prior entries in this task (not automatically the same mechanism): none\nEvidence:\n Task instruction: jobs/8350/2026-10-04__12-08-09/filesystem-snapshot-rollback-bash-rhel7-8350/instruction.md\n jobs/8350/2026-10-04__12-08-09/filesystem-snapshot-rollback-bash-rhel7-8350/filesystem-snapshot-rollback-bas__JYx4sH6/agent/executor-commands.jsonl:20 [cmd-46cbe5f831894bab, node=node1, completed, rc=0]\n jobs/8350/2026-10-04__12-08-09/filesystem-snapshot-rollback-bash-rhel7-8350/filesystem-snapshot-rollback-bas__JYx4sH6/agent/executor-commands.jsonl:26 [cmd-3ce24158195f4004, node=node1, completed, rc=1]\n jobs/8350/2026-10-04__12-08-09/filesystem-snapshot-rollback-bash-rhel7-8350/filesystem-snapshot-rollback-bas__JYx4sH6/agent/executor-commands.jsonl:28 [cmd-6c8d3e3ba6124308, node=node1, completed, rc=0]\n jobs/8350/2026-10-04__12-08-09/filesystem-snapshot-rollback-bash-rhel7-8350/filesystem-snapshot-rollback-bas__JYx4sH6/agent/executor-commands.jsonl:30 [cmd-502d5fc6e578451f, node=node1, completed, rc=0]\n jobs/8350/2026-10-04__12-08-09/filesystem-snapshot-rollback-bash-rhel7-8350/filesystem-snapshot-rollback-bas__JYx4sH6/agent/executor-commands.jsonl:34 [cmd-6e63cb54408f43b0, node=node1, completed, rc=0]\n jobs/8350/2026-10-04__12-08-09/filesystem-snapshot-rollback-bash-rhel7-8350/filesystem-snapshot-rollback-bas__JYx4sH6/agent/executor-commands.jsonl:46 [cmd-602f402f1dd143bf, node=node1, completed, rc=0]" } ] }
