14:52:12 kashyap (Unless there are no nasty surprises lurking somewhere)
14:52:43 dansmith yeah I originally had rewritten all the detach stuff to use that per-alias method, but realized it was really not necessary and that I could just change how we looked it up instead
14:53:00 dansmith which is much smaller *and* should apply to the other places where we just need to look it up and not detach
14:53:39 kashyap Smart. (On changing how we looked it up. I would've racked my brains longer)
14:53:54 opendevreview Pavlo Shchelokovskyy proposed openstack/nova master: Replace -- as 3-4 char in hostname with - https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/893072
14:54:59 dansmith so I'm hoping that helper on guest that looks up all devices and then finds by alias will work for interfaces in a similar workflow
14:55:52 kashyap You already ran nova.tests.unit.virt.libvirt.* unit tests locallY?
14:57:02 dansmith no, no tests, it just works in a devstack
14:57:04 opendevreview Elod Illes proposed openstack/nova stable/xena: Don't provide MTU value in metadata service if DHCP is enabled https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/879703
14:57:12 opendevreview Pavlo Shchelokovskyy proposed openstack/nova master: Replace -- as 3-4 char in hostname with - https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/893072
14:57:43 dansmith kashyap: i.e.: Aug 29 14:40:22 jammy nova-compute[306476]: DEBUG nova.virt.libvirt.driver [None req-323b5960-d0c5-4729-b269-5743cd4fdf90 demo demo] Found disk vdb by alias ua-ada5af06-300e-4d07-931d-3cc2bff8a8a9 {{(pid=306476) _get_guest_disk_device /opt/stack/nova/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py:2722}}
14:58:28 kashyap Ah, nice.
15:01:57 opendevreview Elod Illes proposed openstack/nova stable/wallaby: Don't provide MTU value in metadata service if DHCP is enabled https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/879704
15:02:11 kashyap dansmith: I'm just quietly wondering if there are scenarios where we have to care about transient disk configs at all
15:02:16 bauzas auniyal: left a comment on https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/889947 but also on the dependent patch, please review it as soon as you can
15:03:20 opendevreview Elod Illes proposed openstack/nova stable/victoria: Don't provide MTU value in metadata service if DHCP is enabled https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/879705
15:04:14 dansmith kashyap: meaning all the detaching from live+persistent you mean?
15:04:35 dansmith AFAIK we pretty much always keep them in sync, so I'm not sure why we're going to all that trouble, yeah
15:05:01 kashyap (Yeah, detach from both live and persistent)
15:05:31 kashyap I didn't realize we're keeping them in sync. Then one less trouble.
15:06:06 opendevreview Elod Illes proposed openstack/nova stable/ussuri: Don't provide MTU value in metadata service if DHCP is enabled https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/879702
15:06:36 bauzas reminder : nova meeting in 55 mins (heya, back)
15:32:47 opendevreview Pavlo Shchelokovskyy proposed openstack/nova master: Replace -- as 3-4 char in hostname with - https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/893072
15:48:19 bauzas auniyal: also gave -1 for a few nits on https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/882284

16:02:18 bauzas so, we would like to do some bug triage
16:02:50 bauzas auniyal: you're the next in the roster list, fancy with this ?
16:02:58 auniyal ack bauzas
16:03:01 auniyal yes

16:03:18 bauzas #info bug baton is auniyal
16:03:23 bauzas thanks
16:03:36 bauzas moving on, I don't see any critical bug to discuss

16:05:05 dansmith things are better lately, thanks to a lot of hard work by a number of people, most recently probably melwitt with an LVM fix that might help with some stability, and a functional fix from gibi
16:05:22 bauzas dansmith: ++, I was about to ask for news :)
16:05:49 dansmith still need to work on some random timeouts we get which I think is related to stress on the api workers (at least in part) and melwitt has a green/native threads refactor up which I hope will eventually help with that
16:06:00 bauzas I have to admit the issues I've seen are out of my knowledge area :(
16:06:25 dansmith also still occasional OOMs which are hard to address when we're legitimately running out of memory if we get unlucky with what gets started when
16:06:29 bauzas dansmith: ack, any change in particular for greenthreading ?
16:06:54 dansmith bauzas: we need to move to native threads in nova-api when under wsgi so that we can handle more than two things at once
16:07:11 dansmith *and* so we can enable it in devstack so that other services which can already do so can leverage that :)
16:07:28 bauzas I see
16:08:13 dansmith anyway, that's pretty much the status.. I encourage everyone to look critically at any failure they see and try to resolve it or nail it down while waiting for your recheck :)
16:08:53 bauzas well, I'd say, I'm a bad doctor, I'm only able to tell what's wrong without any cure
16:09:14 bauzas and my diagnostics are always biased
16:09:25 bauzas but yeah, teamwork, agreed :)
16:09:28 dansmith well, doctors require continuing education to get better ;)
16:09:53 bauzas not only doctors :)
16:09:59 bauzas anyway, thanks for the update
16:10:41 bauzas I'm still wondering if the GPT errors I'm seeing in the console are somehow related to the timeouts
16:11:16 dansmith I don't think so,
16:11:26 dansmith we get those every time we attach a blank disk to an instance
16:11:38 bauzas ack, ok
16:11:44 dansmith the correlation is lots of timeouts come from volume tests,
16:11:52 dansmith which always dump console logs, and you see those things that look error-like
16:12:00 dansmith correlated, but not caused
16:12:17 bauzas yeah, correlation is not cause, I get it :)
16:13:06 bauzas I know sean-k-mooney was also investing any alping image usage in some job
16:13:14 bauzas have we moved forward on it ?
16:13:21 bauzas alpine*
16:14:55 bauzas anyway, I think gate stability deserves some discussions at the PTG, if we haven't closed the gaps yet
16:15:28 dansmith not that I know of
16:16:13 bauzas moving on then
16:16:26 sean-k-mooney i havent looked at that in a while
16:16:31 bauzas #info Please look at the gate failures and file a bug report with the gate-failure tag.
16:16:49 sean-k-mooney but it was failing becuase it did not have growfs i.e. the disk root partition was not being expanded
16:16:56 sean-k-mooney easy fix jsut have not had time to work on it
16:17:25 bauzas sean-k-mooney: ack, this week I'm busy but next week, I could help
16:17:31 sean-k-mooney we can move on but https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:alpine is the topic for context
16:17:58 bauzas moving on indeed
16:18:01 bauzas #topic Release Planning
16:18:10 bauzas #link https://releases.openstack.org/bobcat/schedule.html
16:18:17 bauzas #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-bobcat-blueprint-status Etherpad for tracking blueprints status
16:18:22 bauzas #info 2 days before FeatureFreeze
16:18:33 bauzas so, I tried to update the etherpad based on my recent findings
16:18:50 bauzas we have about 5 series that are reviewable
