initramfs on F21 beta image is corrupt?
by Lars Kellogg-Stedman 11 Nov '14

11 Nov '14

I just grabbed the F21 beta cloud image from: http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/21-Beta/Cl… It looks like the initramfs on this image is corrupt; it appears to be an uncompressed CPIO archive with truncated content: # zcat initramfs-3.17.1-302.fc21.x86_64.img | cpio -it gzip: initramfs-3.17.1-302.fc21.x86_64.img: not in gzip format cpio: premature end of archive # cpio -it < initramfs-3.17.1-302.fc21.x86_64.img . kernel kernel/x86 kernel/x86/microcode kernel/x86/microcode/AuthenticAMD.bin early_cpio 44 blocks If I generate a new image with 'dracut -f', I get something that looks a lot more sane... # dracut -f # zcat initramfs-3.17.1-302.fc21.x86_64.img | cpio -it [...671 lines of output...] The image still boots correctly in my OpenStack environment but I suspect this will cause problems for someone. -- Lars Kellogg-Stedman <lars(a)redhat.com> | larsks @ {freenode,twitter,github} Cloud Engineering / OpenStack | http://blog.oddbit.com/

Since they were taken on by the base WG, they have sort of been orphaned under products. Do they belong under Server? Cloud? Spins? > Notable -- Once a draft of strings are finished for the getfedora.org > site, we'll pass to Working Groups through their liaisons for > feedback. We're aiming to have those in the next 24 hours or so. Hmmm. So I produced a patch against the getfedora branch. (Attached) Here's the strings for the cloud pages: main page: Fedora Cloud: Fedora Cloud provides a minimal Fedora cloud image for use in public and private cloud environments. It includes just the bare essentials so you get enough to run your cloud application -- and nothing more. Get Cloud page: Top: Fedora Cloud has the tools for public and private clouds, traditional workloads, or Docker containers. Middle: The Fedora Cloud Working Group offers two variants for different use cases. The Base image is suitable for anyone who wants to run Fedora in the AWS public cloud, or on a private cloud like OpenStack. The Fedora Atomic Host is generated using rpm-ostree to allow true "atomic" updates, and is optimized to run Docker containers. Both are available in formats suitable for public or private clouds. [[We need a quote or something for the middle - who could we get something from? Think testimonial.]] Bottom: Fedora Cloud images provide leading edge software for development and deployment in public cloud environments. -- Joe Brockmeier | Principal Cloud & Storage Analyst jzb(a)redhat.com | http://community.redhat.com/ Twitter: @jzb | http://dissociatedpress.net/

urgent(ish): heat-cfntools -> python-boto -> python3 -> sad
by Matthew Miller 10 Nov '14

10 Nov '14

hey all. heat-cfntools requires python-boto, which requires python3, which shouldn't happen before we're ready to transition to python3 overall. This has a _significant_ impact on image size now that the python-boto dep is gone from cloud init. Having _one_ python requirement is bad enough but it's egregious to pull in both 2 and 3. Options: 1. does heat-cfntools hard-require python-boto? 2. can we use a python-boto that isn't python3 before we're ready? (there was supposed to be a coherent plan for this!) 3. should we drop heat-cfntools for f21? Agents are a pain. :( -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader

final mirrorlist location for Atomic
by Colin Walters 10 Nov '14

10 Nov '14

Currently, the Atomic cloud image still tries to contact the compose server internal mirror for updates. Do we know what the final mirrorlist URL will be? Where are we on getting content sync'd out?

[PATCH] cloud-atomic: Re-shrink rootfs partitions
by Colin Walters 08 Nov '14

08 Nov '14

mattdm changed these previously because we hit an ENOSPC error during qcow2 image creation, but that *really* happened because the Fedora rel-eng create-cloud-images script hardcoded 3GB. Now that we've shrunk the content down to ~850MB, drop the defaults: - rootfs down to 2GB. This is enough space for a replacement of all content, plus a bit of spare room for logging - /boot to 200MB. At present, kernel+initramfs is just 30MB, so this is still very conservative. --- fedora-cloud-atomic.ks | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)

cloud init update needs testing
by Matthew Miller 08 Nov '14

08 Nov '14

Hi all! https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/cloud-init-0.7.5-8.fc21 needs testing — let's get this into F21 (and, more to the point, into test candidates, so we can make sure it's thoroughly tested). -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader

Two more (mostly cosmetic) Atomic patches
by Colin Walters 06 Nov '14

06 Nov '14

I don't think either of these are the cause of the hang, but I believe they're both correct. Tested with a local ImageFactory run.

fedora-productimg-cloud package
by Matthew Miller 06 Nov '14

06 Nov '14

We have a new package which contains the differentiated branding for the installer -- fedora-productimg-cloud. This can also be used to choose different defaults, and we could even move some of our ugly kickstart hacks there (although that's a bit dubious). We're deemphasizing this for F21, but for F22 and beyond, this will help with what Jared and others suggested a little while ago -- people who want to use the installer to generate a first-pass at a custom cloud image interactively. So anyway, the question: who wants to own or co-own this package? -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader
