| 16:11:55 | sean-k-mooney | basiclly a way to tell qemu that the storage is an ssd or hdd | |
| 16:12:26 | Uggla | do you have the link | |
| 16:12:34 | sean-k-mooney | that might be a nice one ot have but im not going to hold my breath on it being ready in time | |
| 16:12:45 | sean-k-mooney | sure https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova-specs/+/979696 | |
| 16:12:55 | Uggla | thx | |
| 16:14:31 | sean-k-mooney | we can likely move on | |
| 16:14:33 | Uggla | Regarding Expose vlan trunking in metadata/configdrive, cardoe has partialy answered. He is on PTO/ | |
| 16:15:13 | sean-k-mooney | ya i htink we can proceed with that i just need a second reviewr that has time to review the exsitng implemation | |
| 16:15:30 | Uggla | so as it looks not in a bad shape, maybe I'll have a short exception for that one. | |
| 16:15:49 | Uggla | unless people are really against that. | |
| 16:16:03 | Uggla | otherwise | |
| 16:16:08 | Uggla | #info Starting: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-2026.2-status#L16 interesting bugs to review. | |
| 16:16:28 | Uggla | Moving on | |

| 16:19:41 | gibi | o/ | |
| 16:19:52 | gibi | I'm not sure if sambork are around or not | |
| 16:21:17 | Uggla | seems not | |
| 16:21:25 | gibi | yeah | |
| 16:21:30 | gibi | I have not much to say | |
| 16:22:01 | Uggla | we can skip if there's nothing new | |
| 16:22:02 | gibi | Ashish is working on the functional env, sambork on a forking issue in 3.14 | |
| 16:22:19 | gibi | that is it | |
| 16:22:46 | Uggla | thx | |
| 16:23:05 | Uggla | skipping next 2 topics, because layos and cardoe are not available. | |

| 16:23:59 | Uggla | Next meeting (this week): [public] Upstream bug triage. Wednesday, June 10 · 15:30 – 16:00 UTC. Video call link: meet.google.com/zjr-rxus-hzj | |
| 16:24:08 | Uggla | #topic Open discussion | |
| 16:24:35 | Uggla | Last time we did not discuss sean topic, so sean-k-mooney please go ahead. | |
| 16:25:18 | Uggla | first is bug janitor, second is pre populated cirros rootfs experiment | |
| 16:25:35 | sean-k-mooney | the first one i belive is the tick box to auto expire incompelte bugs after 30-90 days | |
| 16:26:00 | sean-k-mooney | fungi notice that take affect and we were not sure if that was intentinoal or not | |
| 16:26:11 | sean-k-mooney | so i disabled it quickly and wanted to know are we ok with it | |
| 16:26:29 | sean-k-mooney | basiclly if a bug is incompelte and has no comment after 90? days | |
| 16:26:34 | sean-k-mooney | itw ill go to the expired state | |
| 16:26:44 | sean-k-mooney | i think that is fine but just wanted to make sure we were ok with that | |
| 16:26:50 | sean-k-mooney | it wont affect bugs in any other state | |
| 16:27:28 | sean-k-mooney | if we are i can go make sure that is set the same for all the nova repos | |
| 16:27:33 | gibi | I'm fine to close bugs that sitting in incomplete for 90 days | |
| 16:27:41 | Uggla | same for me | |
| 16:27:57 | sean-k-mooney | since it puts them in the exired state we can also find them again | |
| 16:28:03 | sean-k-mooney | because we dont use that for anythign else | |
| 16:28:38 | sean-k-mooney | if there is no objection then ill go re enable it in nova/placment and check if tis enabeld in the other nova repos | |
| 16:28:56 | Uggla | ok | |
| 16:29:27 | sean-k-mooney | the second topic is https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/990728 | |
| 16:29:52 | sean-k-mooney | so that didnt merge after like 5 or more recheck because it hit many other unrleated gate bugs | |
| 16:30:04 | sean-k-mooney | we have fixed at least 2 if not 3 of them since then | |
| 16:30:21 | sean-k-mooney | none of the rechecks failed on the kernel painc it was intended to test | |
| 16:30:34 | sean-k-mooney | so it looks like using prepoulated images does infact prevent the kernel panic | |
| 16:31:12 | sean-k-mooney | so we coudl recheck this and get more data or we could abandon it as i think we have confirmed at this point that that is the underlying issue | |
| 16:31:38 | sean-k-mooney | i.e. if teh vm boot is interupted because we resize or reboot the vm while the rootfs is beign copied from the initram | |
| 16:31:58 | sean-k-mooney | then we get teh "trying to kill init" panic we have been seeign for the last few years | |
| 16:32:39 | sean-k-mooney | im goign to followup with the cirros folks to prepare a 0.6.4 release with a new pre-poulated image | |
| 16:32:42 | sean-k-mooney | and some other fixes | |
| 16:33:05 | sean-k-mooney | so i guess the only quesiton i have is do we want to continue trying to do the experiment | |
| 16:33:29 | sean-k-mooney | or will i abandon those patche or atleast drop +w and just recheck to do more testing if needed | |
| 16:33:53 | Uggla | any idea of the frequency of the crashes ? | |
| 16:34:01 | gibi | will this be fixed by cirros folks, or we need something home made cirros imagae? | |
| 16:34:05 | sean-k-mooney | about 20 times a day in novas gate | |
| 16:34:19 | sean-k-mooney | there are other workarounds | |
| 16:34:31 | sean-k-mooney | which is we can make it less likely by waithing for sshable | |
| 16:34:42 | sean-k-mooney | before we do reboots or resizes | |
| 16:34:59 | sean-k-mooney | gibi: i have propesed prs to cirros | |
| 16:35:02 | sean-k-mooney | to fix it | |
| 16:35:28 | sean-k-mooney | but we need ot undersnad the currnet maintaince sate of the cirros project in general | |
| 16:35:47 | sean-k-mooney | gibi: worst case we will fork it again but im hoping we can fix it upstream | |
| 16:36:04 | Uggla | ++ checking for sshable | |
| 16:36:23 | sean-k-mooney | checking for sshable is really just a workaround | |
| 16:36:42 | sean-k-mooney | but we coudl do it in the couple fo tests that are impacted | |
| 16:36:55 | gibi | sean-k-mooney: OK, lets see what the cirros folks say | |
| 16:37:16 | sean-k-mooney | waitign for sshable mostly means we shoudl have compelted the rootfs copy | |
| 16:37:17 | gibi | I'm OK to add sshable checks to the impacted test | |
| 16:37:34 | Uggla | maybe not ideal but better loosing a bit of time to be ready than crashing. IMHO | |
| 16:37:37 | sean-k-mooney | ack i can see if we can come up with a list | |
| 16:37:56 | sean-k-mooney | basiclly its any test that rebots a vm or does a resize | |
| 16:38:02 | sean-k-mooney | it happen mroe on the bfv tests | |
| 16:38:12 | sean-k-mooney | just because of the extra overhead | |
| 16:38:37 | sean-k-mooney | the 2 ways it manifest is the panic | |
| 16:38:39 | sean-k-mooney | or ssh failing | |
| 16:38:55 | sean-k-mooney | the latter is because if we coppy the root fs but have not writeen the athrised key | |
| 16:39:10 | sean-k-mooney | there was a race in cirros that ment it woudl not do that on the next boot | |
| 16:39:22 | sean-k-mooney | waiting for sshable shoudl cover both cases | |
| 16:39:42 | sean-k-mooney | to wrap this up wil i abandon my test patches for now? | |
