njinballoons, good morning14:00
smartboyhwHi balloons14:00
njinballoons, when you can we need to talk about raid1 and the relative testcase14:01
smartboyhwnjin: balloons is usually online on 14:10 - 14:30:)14:02
njinsmarboyhw, I can see that is online, but probably cannot pay attention, so i left a message14:03
smartboyhwOK, I am waiting for balloons to chat about 12.04.1 testing14:04
njinI catch the ticket befor .-P14:05
smartboyhwI know, you first14:05
balloonslol14:05
smartboyhwlol!14:05
smartboyhwHi balloons!14:05
balloonssmartboyhw, I changed it up on you.. I was around since 12:3014:06
smartboyhwOh!14:06
smartboyhwSo, today is the freeze of 12.04.114:07
smartboyhwWe need a hell lot of testing to do, right?14:07
balloonssmartboyhw, next week, next week14:10
balloonsnjin, fire away14:10
njinok14:10
njin1- we have to explain how to do the raid1 setiing up ?14:11
njinin real hw and vm14:11
njinactually I'm not able to do a raid in kvm, i can do only in VB14:12
njinand in real hw14:12
njinwe also need to modify the old testcase that is wrong because actully it don't autosync anymore to avoid loss of data 8 just explainned to me xnox)14:13
xnoxnjin: you can do mdadm raid in kvm & real hw.14:14
xnoxnjin: in hw you want to do ISMS (intel matrix storage), which is available in the certification labs14:14
xnoxwhich is hardware raid14:14
jibelnjin, you should talk to SpamapS on #ubuntu-server before modifying this test case14:14
xnox(also known as fakeraid, cause it's not full raid controllers)14:14
xnoxi did try to get access to the certification lab machine, but no replies so far.14:15
njinok guy, too many problems i go on with other stuff let this for last, thanks everybody14:15
balloonsnjin, heh, yes not a bad idea14:16
njinxnox, can you give me a little help in this ?14:16
xnoxnjin: what help do you want? first of all which test case are you talking about?14:17
njinto point the autosync situation14:17
balloonsnjin, are you working on this? http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/ServerRAID114:18
njinhttp://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/ServerRAID1 point 1714:18
balloonsServer basic RAID1 install, point 17.. I see it14:19
xnoxballoons: njin: but in point 16.L it already says that you need to manually add the drives and explains why (pointer to the bug)14:19
balloonsso njin I see the test.. I'm not sure what your confused about.. Test 17 seems to just be testing the automatic sync. Upon power-on, it should notice the drives are not the same, and sync them back up again14:22
njinok xnox  and should only happen on precise or later (see bug 943397).14:22
ubot5Launchpad bug 943397 in mdadm (Ubuntu) "cannot re-add a briefly disconnected disk to a RAID1 set" [High,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/94339714:22
xnoxnjin: i will be testing this as part of 12.04.1 rc images which will happen today/tomorrow and i will be going step by step through instructions.14:23
xnoxlast time i did it was all correct in the test cases14:23
xnoxbut i will report any discrepancies.14:23
njinI'm testing just now in quantal and it don't automatically sync14:24
xnoxwell that is PITA ain't it14:24
xnoxnjin: does it start syncing after adding it?14:24
xnoxnjin: or better14:24
xnoxnah there is no better14:24
njinsure just added it sync14:25
njinit works great14:25
njinjust this little particular of the autosync of the reconnected device14:25
balloonsnjin, so help me understand.. You remove the disk and boot it up14:30
balloonseverything is fine on one drive14:30
balloonsthen, step 17 you put the disk back in an boot it up, but it doesn't re-sync.. UNLESS you add the disk back to the array manually. Is this right?14:30
njinballoons, yes, sorry I was out for a moment14:44
balloonsnjin, ahh ok. got it14:45
balloonswell, I don't think that affects the testcase then.. sounds like what's stated is what should be happening14:45
balloonsso I'd say you found a bug instead14:45
njinballons, is a new feature, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/94339714:50

njinwell, i go on with openssh server14:53
balloonsnjin, awesome14:53
smartboyhwballoons: Still here?15:44

xnoxgema: jibel: do you have a minute to talk about adding extra jenkins tests?15:55
jibelxnox, I do, I'd like gema to participate too since they'll be deployed in utah15:56
gemaI am15:57
gemaall eyes15:57
jibelxnox, ok go ahead15:57
xnoxOk. So for the following systems (precise, quantal) x (ubuntu desktop, ubuntu server) x (i386, amd64) I would like to add a following test15:58
xnoxinstall, but make the presseed file change the default filesystem type from ext4 (current default) to btrfs15:58
xnoxthis test should depend on successful completion of the typical/default test, similar to how the raid/lvm/crypto are15:59
xnox--15:59
xnoxsecond test15:59
xnox--15:59
xnoxfor systems (ubuntu desktop, ubuntu server) x (i386,amd64) I would like the following test15:59
xnox--16:00
xnoxinstall precise with btrfs filesystem -> upgrade to quantal -> check that it reboots fine16:00
xnox--16:00
xnoxthis one should depend on the two btrfs tests (one in precise, one in quantal) for the respective combo of (flavour, arch)16:00
xnox--16:00
xnoxwhat do you think?16:00
xnox..16:00
xnoxjibel: gema ^^^16:01
gemaxnox: I think you just duplicated the number of jobs we currently have in jenkins with those "two" test cases16:01
jibelxnox, crypto = encrypted filesystem ?16:01
gema:D16:01
xnoxjibel: yes.16:01
* xnox giggles16:02
xnoxit is ok if we limit this to e.g. desktop only and on one arch only16:02
xnoxor not run it too often (e.g. once a week, when everything is green)16:02
gemaxnox: by when do you need this?16:02
xnoxas this is not a default installation, but it possibly might be the *next* default.16:02
xnoxgema: precise -> quantal btrfs upgrade ideally before we release 12.04.1.... or i will be doing it manually here with 12.04.1 candidate images16:03
xnoxin general btrfs automated testing is a workitem for quantal which was assigned to me =/ before i got loads of ubiquity work =)16:04
xnoxdo the test sound reasonable to you?16:05
xnoxdo we have capacity? or will we have capacity soon for these?16:05
xnoxwhere can I record these tasks? (and implement preseeds / do initial runs)16:05
gemaxnox: we don't have the capacity at all, but I am trying to figure out how long it would take to do16:05
gemaand if we could teach your or someone else how to do it and just verify that16:05
gemawith the current setup16:06
xnoxis it juju / cloud-init friendly at all?16:06
gemawe wouldn't be doing it with utah16:06
xnoxok16:06
xnoxit would be best to do on baremetal to exercise grub + btrfs16:07
gemaxnox: right now we don't have manouvre time16:07
gemait'll be faster to test it manually16:08
gemaxnox: but if that is what is going to become the default install soon16:08
gemawe need to start working on it for the future16:08
xnoxbtrfs comes up every uds.... and every uds we don't know how reliable it is16:09
xnoxfedora post poned it again for a cycle16:10
jibelxnox, can we test reliably btrfs on VMs ?16:10
xnoxyes, it will be at least something.16:11
xnoxbaremetal is a dream more or less16:11
gemaxnox: I think we need a BP for next cycle to tackle this16:13
gemafrom the QA perspective16:14
gemawe will start our adding coverage to ubuntu with adding coverage to btrsf16:14
gemanext cycle16:14
xnoxok16:14
xnoxi will create one16:14
xnoxnext16:14
gemano worries, I will16:15
xnoxubiquity has added support for lvm & encrypted-lvm16:15
gemait will live with QA and we will deliver it16:15
xnoxdo we have capacity to add for:16:15
gemawe will need you there to tell us what tests are relevant16:15
xnoxok16:15
xnox..?16:15
xnoxubiquity has support for lvm & encrypted-lvm.16:17
xnoxDo we have capacity to add:16:17
xnox - (i386,amd64) x ubuntu desktop x quantal x (lvm, ecrypted-lvm)16:17
xnoxinstall test, with dependency on regular install?16:17
gemato run what tests?16:19
gemaxnox: we have 0 capacity right now, I would need to drop something we are doing to pick this, and we cannot get there for next week for sure16:19
gemaxnox: so if something is important enough for quantal milestones and we need to add it, we will, but we will have to choose what to drop16:20
xnoxgema: that install finishes & it reboots, similar to the current quantal-iso-testing-dashboard-tests16:20
xnoxI understand. I will speak with slangasek as well about it.16:20
gemaxnox: which job are you talking about in particular?16:20
xnoxok.16:20
gemaour lvm and encrypted test cases are rather thin16:21
xnoxThese: https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Quantal/view/ISO%20Testing%20Dashboard/16:21
gemawhich job in particular16:21
xnoxubiquity lvm can replace alternative lvm: https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Quantal/view/ISO%20Testing%20Dashboard/job/quantal-alternate-i386_lvm/16:21
xnoxand https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Quantal/view/ISO%20Testing%20Dashboard/job/quantal-alternate-amd64_lvm/16:22
xnoxbecause the plan is to drop alternative cd16:22
xnoxand the alternative-lvm code path is exercised with server-lvm16:22
gemaok16:22
gemaso you want to change those two jobs to desktop?16:22
gemadoes ubiquity support that now?16:22
xnoxyes, it does. I implemented it =)16:23
gemaxnox: can we preseed it as well?16:23
xnoxfor capacity reasons we could change: https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Quantal/view/ISO%20Testing%20Dashboard/job/quantal-desktop-amd64_encryptedhome/ to be encrypted home + LUKS encryption as well16:23
xnoxgema: no you cannot, I will need to do some tweks to make it preseedable.16:24
xnoxgema: where is your preseed file for server-crypt, such that I can make that preseeding experience similar / the same.16:24
gemalet me find you the page16:24
xnoxgema: the ubiquity lvm & encrypted-lvm are critical for quantal, so I think it makes sense to find room for it (e.g. replace the alternative-lvm job & replace desktop-encryptedhome job)16:25
xnox... or piggy-bag on top of desktop-encryptedhome job.16:25
gemaxnox: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-server-iso-testing-dev <- server-tests-quantal16:26
gemaxnox: the jobs we are currently running for iso testing are based on those repositories16:28
xnoxok16:28
xnoxthanks16:28
gemanp16:28
gemaxnox: let me know your thoughts whenever you've looked into it16:28
xnoxgema: so lp:~ubuntu-server-iso-testing-dev/+junk/alternate-tests-quantal is for the alternate runner?16:29
gemafor quantal16:29
gemayes16:29
xnoxcool.16:29
xnoxok. I will poke them a little bit, make sure that ubiquity can preseed it's encrypted installation.16:29
gemaxnox: ack, then we will have the discussion with the powers that be on when to put in production what16:30
xnoxand then we can discuss testing proposed jobs16:30
gemayes16:30
xnoxand then we can decide to flip some of them off, in favor of enabling ubiquity-encrypted tests.16:30
xnoxok.16:30
xnoxgreat.16:31
xnoxstgraber: that task from 12.04.1 meeting to discuss fs testing with qa people is done. Intead I now have a bunch of new tasks to actually implement it ;-)16:31
stgraberxnox: ok :)16:32
gemaxnox: the capacity problems I was talking about was people to be able to make the changes to the test code and put those jobs up there16:33
gemaxnox: not the servers not coping16:34
gemaxnox: just to clarify x)16:34
gemaxnox: the lab is not at full capacity yet !16:34
xnoxgema: oh, so if I write the tests & babysit them there is capacity to *execute* them?16:35
gemaxnox: indeed16:35
xnoxI am up for that! =)16:35
gemaif you have a jenkins job working we can add it to the bunch no problem16:35
gemayou'll need to send a merge request to the right branch (which can be messy as you can see) and get it reviewed and merged16:35
gemaand you can set up the jenkins job16:36
gemaindeed16:36
xnoxdo you have a test instance or a how to to get it up and running the way you do  it?16:36
gemaxnox: do you have access to the QA lab?16:36
xnoxgema: i think I do have vpn, but i don't have access to any machines on the other end (as far as I know)16:36
gemaxnox: you may not know it, but you do16:36
xnoxcan you help me with that? in private? =)16:37
gemasure16:43
gemawhere are you?16:43
astraljavaballoons: I should be able to chair on 29th, I have it on calendar. :)18:55
