| amirali | hi everyone | 06:43 |
| amirali | maas 1.8 question > can anyone help ? | 06:44 |
| amirali | ...... | 07:04 |
| amirali | Failed to query node's BMC | 07:14 |
| gnuoy | I woke up this morning with a spring in my step ready to wield the mighty maas only to discover that it seems to have imported a broken image (http://paste.ubuntu.com/11840324/). So, 1) can I revert to an earlier image? 2) are there docs covering 1 that I've missed? 3) what should I file a bug against for the broken image? | 08:28 |
| amirali | could anyone tell me about vmware powertype in maas 1.8 | 09:53 |
| amirali | hi RoAkSoAx | 10:28 |
| amirali | are you there? | 10:28 |

| gnuoy | Maas has updated the troublesome image and all is peachy again. | 15:38 |
| sto | How do I tell curtin to use GPT instead of MBR with MAAS? I have a 3TB disk and MAAS only uses 2TB because it is using MBR | 15:47 |
| kiko | sto: I think newer versions of curtin handle that correctly, dpkg -l | grep curtin? | 15:56 |

| oxkipo | Hi Im getting error used fallback datasource while turning on my node. Im on MAAS 1.8 | 18:47 |
| kiko | sto: so, I'm not not sure whether curtin supports gpt drives for x86 | 18:49 |
| kiko | sto: I am looking at the source code and I can see some gpt code, but it seems only used on ARM | 18:49 |
| kiko | smoser, did I read the code wrong? | 18:49 |
| smoser | i think so | 18:49 |
| kiko | smoser, what calls partition_main()? is it maas? | 18:50 |
| kiko | if so, does maas know how to tell curtin to use gpt? | 18:50 |
| smoser | it can be told to do gpt, but it will only do it by default if it is booted uefi. i think. | 18:50 |
| kiko | if uefi_bootable: | 18:51 |
| kiko | return 'uefi' | 18:51 |
| kiko | if machine in ['aarch64']: | 18:51 |
| kiko | return 'gpt' | 18:51 |
| kiko | elif machine.startswith('ppc64'): | 18:51 |
| kiko | return 'prep' | 18:51 |
| smoser | so uefi is gpt. | 18:52 |
| kiko | okay | 18:52 |
| kiko | sto: does UEFI boot mode work for you? | 18:52 |
| kiko | smoser, is that mandatory, i.e. can you use GPT tables and BIOS? | 18:52 |
| smoser | i think the answer is probably. | 18:53 |
| smoser | so 2 ways to get gpt | 18:53 |
| kiko | http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/bios.html | 18:53 |
| kiko | it sort of does | 18:53 |
| smoser | a.) you can change the config provided by maas to curtin to include | 18:53 |
| smoser | block-meta: | 18:54 |
| smoser | format: gpt | 18:54 |
| smoser | b.) you can just let it do what it does, and then convert it to gpt (i think). | 18:54 |
| oxkipo | please may someone help me? | 18:54 |
| smoser | oxkipo, cloud-init needs the maas server that it was instaled with to be present at each boot. | 18:55 |
| kiko | oxkipo, you may need to provide some more information, as I didn't understand your question, but smoser is a good mind-reader :) | 18:56 |
| smoser | but i think b i snot true. | 18:57 |
| oxkipo | kiko at the end of booting the node after the ssh key im getting error used falback datasource | 18:57 |
| kiko | I don't think you can simply convert to gpt | 18:58 |
| smoser | i thought i did that... thought i made pt_mbr always leave room for a gpt secondary header at the end so you could convert from mbr to gpt using --mbrtogpt | 18:58 |
| kiko | smoser, I think converting is easy if you have less than 4 partitions | 18:59 |
| smoser | well, only sort of easy. | 18:59 |
| smoser | for sto's case it will work. | 18:59 |
| smoser | but if you your mbr partitoin runs to the end of the disk, then there is no where to put the secondary header for gpt. | 19:00 |
| smoser | without writing on top of that filesystem | 19:00 |
| smoser | but lucky for sto, he's got a full 1TB for that :) | 19:00 |
| smoser | as the mbr partition only goes to 2TB of the 3TB | 19:00 |
| kiko | yeah | 19:02 |
| smoser | i should make curtin leave 34 sectors off the end of mbr partitioned disks. | 19:03 |
| smoser | growpart does that now. | 19:03 |
| mup | Bug #1472741 opened: No way to delete images as the maas user that I can see <MAAS:New> <https://launchpad.net/bugs/1472741> | 19:08 |
| sto | smoser: I went the a. way and it worked ok | 19:13 |
| sto | easier than changing partitions later | 19:13 |
| sto | ;) | 19:13 |
| sto | thanks | 19:13 |
| smoser | well, changing is easy enough really. | 19:14 |
| smoser | sgdisk --mbr2gpt , next reboot would pick it up | 19:15 |
| kiko | smoser, and a 3rd way would be to configure UEFI boot? | 19:29 |
| smoser | right. | 19:29 |
| kiko | sto: would you be so kind as to ask an ask.ubuntu.com question? I'll try and edit into it what smoser replied | 19:29 |
| smoser | in whic hcase you'll get gpt and the uefi partition | 19:30 |
| kiko | yeah | 19:34 |
| * kiko looks at sto | 19:34 | |
| sto | kiko: tomorrow i'll try to add the question | 19:57 |
| sto | now i'm going afk ... ;) | 19:58 |
| kiko | sto: c'mon! | 20:04 |
| smoser | sto, kiko just made a change to curtin trunk so that it will create mbr partition tables leaving 33 sectors for secondary gpt. | 20:27 |
| smoser | end result is that now it will do what i had thought it would do, and if you had a < 2TB disk that you installed to, you could boot | 20:27 |
| smoser | then do: sgdisk --mbrtogpt /dev/sda | 20:27 |
| smoser | and reboot | 20:27 |
| smoser | and possibly then boot with gpt. | 20:27 |
| smoser | also uploaded the change to growpart to have the same behavior. | 20:28 |
| kiko | cool | 20:34 |
| kiko | thanks! | 20:34 |
