[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-9635) Silent startup failure with filesystem that does not support mmap

["Stefania (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9635?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14602642#comment-14602642 ] 

Stefania commented on CASSANDRA-9635:
-------------------------------------

Could you attach your cassandra.yaml and the log file? I see what the problem is from code inspection but I don't have easy access to a virtual box so I am hoping to reproduce this by 'mocking' the exact exception in your log file.

I think the solution to avoid the deadlock might be a new startup check but I need to consult with more experienced developers first.

> C* version 2.0.9.
> When running C* in virtualbox on OS X via boot2docker with the data directory on a shared volume from the host system (vboxfs), C* fails to start without printing any errors.
> I do not know if C* is supposed to support filesystems that do not support mmap (does not appear so), however, I think the failure exposes a static initialization deadlock (http://ternarysearch.blogspot.ru/2013/07/static-initialization-deadlock.html).
> I believe the virtualbox "bug" is https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/819.
> Stacktrace of the deadlock is attached.  When placing a t.printStackTrace() between lines 115 and 116 in https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-2.0.9/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/db/commitlog/CommitLogAllocator.java, the stack trace at startup is:
