Open Stack

Apologies, that stuff looks to have got trashed with the refactor to network boot Ubuntu.

This may be related to the settings in your preseed file for the Ubuntu install?
Has it just left the other bits of the disk blank, with just a small bit with the EXT filesystem on it?

Are you good to try and patch all those files to use the old config value?

Thanks,
John

Subject: [openstack-dev] [devstack] template disk size not being honored in tools/xen

Hey Everyone,
   So, I have been beating my head off of this for the better part of the day now, and I am flinging up my hands in frustration at this point. I am trying to make the devstack vm basically have a different base size than 8.5GB when building under xenserver/xcp. I tried to change the DATA_VDI_SIZE but, that was a red herring. I then found inside the config for the template that is downloaded the disk size, in the other-config settings, and figured that changing it over would simply be putting in;

 xe template-param-set uuid="$vm_uuid" other-config:disks='<provision><disk device="0" size="10179869184" sr="" bootable="true" type="system"/></provision>'

  Thing is, I have tried putting this in both install_os_domU.sh after template copying but before spin up, and peppered it throughout install-os-vpx.sh .. all without any success. Well, I shouldn't say that, I do see that the template DOES have the new disk size (10GB instead of 8.5GB) but, more than that, it doesn't seem to actually be used by the template cloning process. case in point;

  stack at DevStackOSDomU:~$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/xvda

  Disk /dev/xvda: 8589 MB, 8589934592 bytes

   I am scratching my head here, does anyone have any thoughts/ideas ?

   Regards
   S.
