[02:59] hello folks, I am trying to use cloud-init to create a data disk partition on a rhel8 server on azure, here is the custom data script I am using during deployment: https://paste.centos.org/view/5515b8be [03:00] and here is the log: https://paste.centos.org/view/197790eb [03:00] needless to say it is failing miserably to partition and create the filesystem on disk, not sure why [03:02] I also see the following in /var/log/cloud-init.log: DataSourceAzure.py[DEBUG]: Marker "/var/lib/cloud/instance/sem/config_disk_setup" for module "disk_setup" does not exist [03:03] wondering if it is me not knowing what I am doing or Azure working its wonders as usual. [05:15] well, it was me, found the problem with the layout specification and instead of using the .1 notation, had to use the -partX notation for each new partition [12:21] I'm trying to run cloud-init on a VM via user-data. I don't think it's running because `/var/log/cloud-init-output.log` is empty. When I grep for my cloud-config in `/run/cloud-init` I can set it's set as user-data in `instance-data.json` but no other references. Any pointers to understand why it didn't run? [12:45] .. yaml was invalid! faq has handy https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/faq.html#how-can-i-debug-my-user-data :) [13:22] is the service enabled to start upon reboot? check the console log for clues, I've found most of my problems were caused by syntax errors silently ignored :D [13:29] yes the problem was invalid yaml, i did find some error that might have indicated that in a file but i wasn't clear. lesson learned - validate my yaml!
