| 14:11:51 | bauzas | if that virtiofs series is a matter of interest for any company, I'd surely appreciate if they could dedicate some time to help with reviewing that series (or testing it at least) | |
| 14:12:48 | sean-k-mooney | zigo: ok the issue with that is dalmatian is obviously not a slurp release | |
| 14:13:21 | sean-k-mooney | so it will support upgrade form caracal but not bobcat | |
| 14:13:49 | sean-k-mooney | althogh they should be able to go from caracal to epoxy when that is released | |
| 14:16:03 | opendevreview | Takashi Kajinami proposed openstack/nova-specs master: Re-propose "libvirt: AMD SEV-ES support" for 2025.1 https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova-specs/+/928817 | |
| 14:37:27 | gibi | stephenfin: thanks! | |
| 14:48:47 | zigo | sean-k-mooney: From the Debian perspective, the SLURP releases aren't alligned ... :/ | |
| 14:51:21 | sean-k-mooney | they are for ubuntu and rhel is tbd to be honest but 18 is based on antelope at least | |

| 15:58:08 | bauzas | reminder: nova meeting in 2 mins here | |
| 15:58:15 | bauzas | and gosh, I need to update the agenda | |
| 15:58:37 | sean-k-mooney | dont just empty it | |
| 15:58:52 | sean-k-mooney | some of the items have been prefiled form last week for opendiscusion i think | |
| 15:59:28 | sean-k-mooney | the one i was thinking of has not been added | |
| 15:59:54 | sean-k-mooney | https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/shared-security-groups | |
| 16:00:19 | sean-k-mooney | the people working on that would like to have it reappvoed for epoxy | |
| 16:00:26 | sean-k-mooney | so lets add that to open discuss | |
| 16:01:34 | bauzas | sean-k-mooney: sure | |

| 16:03:28 | bauzas | #topic Bugs (stuck/critical) | |
| 16:03:50 | bauzas | #info No Critical bug | |
| 16:03:58 | bauzas | #info Add yourself in the team bug roster if you want to help https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-bug-triage-roster | |
| 16:04:14 | bauzas | any bug report people would want to discuss ? | |
| 16:04:48 | dansmith | maybe one | |
| 16:04:58 | dansmith | I filed the bug against oslo and nova, | |
| 16:05:11 | bauzas | shoot | |
| 16:05:15 | dansmith | but sean-k-mooney, are you still working on excluding the safety check for the ephemeral disks? | |
| 16:05:16 | sean-k-mooney | https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/2079850 | |
| 16:05:41 | sean-k-mooney | i have a draft of that locally the unit test are failing so im tryign to fix that | |
| 16:05:52 | dansmith | the oslo fix is +2 but it'll take a release and u-c bump before we get it | |
| 16:05:54 | dansmith | sean-k-mooney: okay cool | |
| 16:06:16 | bauzas | ergh | |
| 16:06:42 | bauzas | yet another reason to work on the image backend refactoring if you want MHO | |
| 16:06:45 | dansmith | bauzas: basically, if you have nova format your ephemerals as vfat for you, you'll hit this fail | |
| 16:07:00 | dansmith | yes, it's really stupid that we're even doing this, and it's at least partially because of the design of the imagebackend | |
| 16:07:16 | opendevreview | sean mooney proposed openstack/nova master: [WIP] Add functional repoducer for ephemeral disks https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/928310 | |
| 16:07:17 | opendevreview | sean mooney proposed openstack/nova master: [WIP] adapt to vfat support in oslo.utils https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/928462 | |
| 16:07:17 | opendevreview | sean mooney proposed openstack/nova master: only saftey check bootable files created form glance https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/928829 | |
| 16:07:25 | sean-k-mooney | thats what im working on ^ | |
| 16:07:30 | dansmith | sean-k-mooney: cool thanks | |
| 16:07:34 | bauzas | formatting ephemerals to vfat is like "I don't care about my fs, dude" | |
| 16:07:45 | sean-k-mooney | still failing unit test but i should get those passing today | |
| 16:07:55 | dansmith | bauzas: right, it's pointless for us to even do that anyway, because nobody would actually use them as fat anyway | |
| 16:08:05 | dansmith | bauzas: double pointless behavior :) | |
| 16:08:13 | bauzas | I assume this would be for additional disks ? | |
| 16:08:18 | dansmith | ephemerals | |
| 16:08:30 | sean-k-mooney | i propoaded not formatign ephemeral disk by default before | |
| 16:08:42 | sean-k-mooney | we have a blueprint for that that i think we shoudl do in epoxy | |
| 16:08:47 | dansmith | yeah, sean-k-mooney I'm on board with that too | |
| 16:09:21 | bauzas | ring me a bell, I know what ephemeral disks are in nova, but I wonder *why* people would want vfat | |
| 16:09:21 | sean-k-mooney | but for right now just skipign the safty check if the disk is not bootable and thats only set when we chreat ephermal/swap disks in my patch above | |
| 16:09:42 | sean-k-mooney | bauzas: its our default when you dont set a config option or image property | |
| 16:09:45 | bauzas | probably because they think "ephemeral" means the disks are not persisted (which is not the case) | |
| 16:09:56 | sean-k-mooney | we choose it as the only format that would work for every os | |
| 16:10:23 | sean-k-mooney | not it was just because we needed something that works on linux and windows | |
| 16:10:32 | dansmith | vfat would only be for windows guests so they see something on the disk instead of blank | |
| 16:10:33 | sean-k-mooney | if you set os_type in teh image we use ntfs or ext4 | |
| 16:10:37 | dansmith | but makes no actual sense | |
| 16:10:52 | dansmith | sean-k-mooney: we actually support ntfs? | |
| 16:10:54 | sean-k-mooney | or if you set the config option we use what you set as the fallback | |
| 16:11:01 | sean-k-mooney | yep | |
| 16:11:11 | dansmith | either way, we're not partitioning the disk properly anyway.. I guess I'm surprised windows is happy with a whole-disk ntfs | |
| 16:11:11 | sean-k-mooney | im not saying you should use it | |
| 16:11:15 | sean-k-mooney | but the code is there | |
| 16:11:33 | sean-k-mooney | https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/configuration/config.html#DEFAULT.default_ephemeral_format | |
| 16:11:34 | dansmith | yeah, I would never use linux-created ntfs for production if I was a windows user | |
| 16:12:06 | sean-k-mooney | well cloud model. as a end user you should not know if its hyperv or libvirt/qemu | |
| 16:12:30 | bauzas | but you know the image you use | |
| 16:12:34 | sean-k-mooney | its in the default section because this applies to other drivers | |
| 16:12:51 | dansmith | I mean as the operator I would never configure that, | |
| 16:13:03 | dansmith | but you're right, users may not realize they are getting ntfs created by linux that they shouldn't trust :) | |
| 16:13:31 | bauzas | agreed on not configure it if I was admin, I'd just assume nova would create me ephemerals that my instance can read | |
| 16:13:32 | sean-k-mooney | anyway we can carry this discussion forward to the reveiws | |
| 16:13:36 | dansmith | yeah | |
| 16:13:42 | sean-k-mooney | but next cycle we can add unformated and set that as the default | |
| 16:13:59 | sean-k-mooney | https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/default-ephemeral-format-unformated | |
| 16:14:01 | dansmith | with docs and renos suggesting to leave it that way | |
| 16:14:21 | sean-k-mooney | we can flag the option with advnaced if we like | |
| 16:14:52 | sean-k-mooney | https://docs.openstack.org/oslo.config/latest/reference/defining.html#advanced-option | |
| 16:15:39 | sean-k-mooney | anyway we can likely move on | |
| 16:15:42 | dansmith | yup | |
| 16:15:46 | bauzas | okay | |
