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`
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.
We no longer require any user intervention when testing dracut on
a local block device in qemu, assuming everything passes. If things fail,
we still might need to manually kill things.
First, add a check script to 99base to ensure that it will load its
prerequisites.
Second, disable the udev magic dracut normally uses when generating
test images -- it was causing random failures when creating the test
root filesystem, presumably due to race conditions between the
rootfs creation scripts and udev.
Third, consolidate the rootfs creation scripts into one script.
If we install copy-root as a mount hook, it will be run after the root fs
is mounted and it will make hte proc directory, allowing root filesystem
creation to finish without error.
