Due to parallel probing of the linux kernel `/dev/sd*` can't be used to
reliably address a hard disk. This can be seen by the many spurious
failures of the dracut CI, where `mdadm` failed with error 524 or tests
failed due to the success marker message written to the wrong disk.
* don't rely on `/dev/sd*` but use disk ids and `/dev/disk/by-id/ata-disk_<name>`
* specify the exact qemu machine architecture `-M q35` needed for the
disk ids. A later patch will move this to `run-qemu`, when all tests are converted
* due to `-M q35` the interface names have changed from
`ens2` -> `enp0s1` and `ens3` -> `enp0s2`
Because some of the CI tests fail randomly while grepping for the
test success marker, let's be specific of the file format grep will
search to eleminate all failure sources.
On Fedora 30 the paritition sizes turn out to be too small again:
+ mkdir -p /sysroot
+ mount /dev/dracut/root /sysroot
+ cp -a -t /sysroot /source/bin /source/dev /source/etc /source/lib /source/lib64 /source/proc /source/root /source/sbin /source/sys /source/tmp /source/usr /source/var
cp: error writing '/sysroot/usr/lib64/libkrb5.so.3.3': No space left on device
cp: error writing '/sysroot/usr/lib64/libkrb5support.so.0.1': No space left on device
It turns out that there has been quite some size increase in some libraries,
notably glibc, though not all -- some even shrunk, ruling out a toolchain
problem. Here's are files over 1M we install on Fedora 30:
f29 f30
2.7M => 6.4M /usr/lib64/{libc-2.28.so => libc-2.29.so}
3.1M => 6.0M /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.1.1c
2.0M => 3.5M /usr/lib64/{libm-2.28.so => libm-2.29.so}
2.9M => 2.8M /usr/lib/systemd/{libsystemd-shared-239.so => libsystemd-shared-241.so}
1.7M => 2.5M /usr/lib64/libunistring.so.2.1.0
2.3M => 2.4M /usr/lib64/bind9-export/libdns-export.so.1105.0.0
1.2M => 2.1M /usr/bin/bash
1.1M => 1.4M /usr/lib64/libkrb5.so.3.3
1.2M => 1.4M /usr/lib64/libgcrypt.so.20.2.4
612K => 1.1M /usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.1.1c
This increases the image sizes to accomodate for this. There's probably
little else we can do.
If emergency and shutdown-emergency hooks are called, the systemd should
poweroff the testsuite, therefore "rd.shell=0" is given on the test
suite kernel command lines.
"rd.shell=0" has to be parsed correctly by the test suite real root init
also.
