#17 Adding scratch disks via provision.fmf doesn't work
Closed Opened by dlehman.

Closed
Reopen Issue

I added a provision.fmf with the following contents with the intention of getting a couple of scratch disks in the testing vm to work with:

---
standard-inventory-qcow2:
  qemu:
    m: 1G
    drive:
      - size: 10737418240
      - size: 10737418240

In the test environment the only disk is sda, so the above had no effect. When I run locally with a recent standard-test-roles it creates the disks as expected. Am I doing something wrong?

FWIW the test I'm working on is here:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-blivet/pull-request/5

Any help (or a fix, if something's broken) would be appreciated.

Hmm, maybe I misunderstand the layering/architecture. Is the test being run in its own vm or in a container? If the latter, can I make it run in a vm instead? Containers are pretty useless for testing block storage.

@dlehman hi!

provision.fmf -- looks good

Just want to make sure that we are talking about the same.
According to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/CI/Standard_Test_Interface

test environment - environment where actual test run takes place. Test has direct impact on test environment.

In other words, this is VM, that one is created by standard-inventory-qcow2 provisioning script.

Could you please provide more information? Where do you not see additional disks? Or, how I can reproduce the issue?

Thank you.

Metadata Update from @dlehman:
- Issue status updated to: Closed (was: Open)

I started to play around with this after I put together a reproducer for you and I figured out the problem: I needed to create the .fmf/version file. Now it's working as expected.

Currently the provision.fmf file is documented here (mentions fmf init as well):

  • https://pagure.io/standard-test-roles/

@dlehman, should the documentation elsewhere be updated to make this more clear?
