octavia : diskimage-create.sh ignores -s flag ?
Hello, I have been struggling to create a diskimage from an existing qcow2 image. I find that diskimage-builder does the following: 1. apparently ignores DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE environment setting and 2. ignores the -s flag. No matter what -s I supply, it creates a 2gb image. My flags are as follows: bash diskimage-create.sh -s 10 Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help appreciated. Thanks -- M. Ranganathan

Can you clarify where the diskimage-create.sh script comes from? Diskimage-builder's command to build an image is disk-image-create and it takes a --image-size flag (-s isn't a valid argument).
Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help appreciated.

Hello, I am using octavia to build the image https://github.com/openstack/octavia/tree/master/diskimage-create I want to run it as a loadbalanced server. Do I need to run diskimage-builder prior to running disk-image-create on the image? My original image ran under virt-manager (imported an ISO into virt manager).

Hi there. I have not used the "DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE" setting. Are you following the example in the README here?:https://github.com/openstack/octavia/tree/master/diskimage-create#using-dist... The variable will need to be exported. As for the -s setting for the image size, I do know this works. We use this as part of our gate test jobs since the centos image must be 3GB in size. The only way -s wouldn't be honored would be if you have a "AMP_IMAGESIZE" environment variable defined. That will override the -s setting. Also note, that the default "qcow2" format is compressed, the .qcow2 file output will not be the same size as you requested with -s. Only when it is booted will it expand out to the full 10GB you specified with -s. Michael On Thu, Feb 14, 2019 at 3:05 PM M. Ranganathan <mranga@gmail.com> wrote:

Yes I am following the example in https://github.com/openstack/octavia/tree/master/diskimage-create#using-dist... I did export it. However, I think the problem was that I was invoking the script with bash diskimage-create.sh .... Instead of directly invoking it using ./diskimage-create.sh ... Not sure if it made the difference. I also removed /root/.cache/image-create and re-ran everything. I can now see the files I added to the image when I explore it using guestfish. Thank you for your help.
