[Lava-users] Re: Not able to unpack the overlay other than "/" directory

Hi Milosz,

I have used original unpack_command as you suggested but still as read only image its get stuck in the overlay unpack. Below I am showing the context and transfer_overlay session that I used for that. And could you please share the sample staging job definition that you used with job context ?

context: arch: x86 lava_test_results_dir: "/etc/lava-%s"

transfer_overlay: download_command: sleep 10; cd /tmp; wget unpack_command: tar -C / -xzf

Status : The job is get stuck in the overlay unpack.

Hi Milosz,

Thanks for your reply. I have tried below scenario and could able to succeed with the overlay download in a different directory. But the unpack is still not taking in the "/" directory as I am having the read only image. So we have tried in the /etc directory cause its writable and I am showing the test job definition snippet below which I used.

context: lava_test_results_dir: "/etc/lava-%s"

Then in the boot/transfer_overlay: transfer_overlay: download_command: cd /etc ; wget unpack_command: tar -C /etc -xzf

Result status: The test job got stuck after the overlay download and did not proceed with the unpack.

Did you try the job with the original unpack_command? The overlay is prepared on the dispatcher with the full absolute path to unpack. So with the job as you posted you'll end up with your files in /etc/etc/lava-0 ... This is not what LAVA expects and that's why you're getting stuck.

This is what I have in my jobs and it works for me. Context should include lava_test_results_dir

context: lava_test_results_dir: "/home/fio/lava-%s"

Then in the boot/transfer_overlay: transfer_overlay: download_command: cd /tmp ; wget unpack_command: tar -C / -xzf

Hope this helps.

Best Regards, Milosz

Sarah,

It's hard to debug without the testjob definition. Could you post this here?

Best Regards,

Hi Team,

Any solution for the issue that I pointed here ? I tried below change as well

1. Changed the source code

“/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lava_dispatcher/deployment_data.py” with “/var/lava-%s “ custom path

debian = {

"TESTER_PS1": r"linaro-test [rc=$(echo \$?)]# ",

"TESTER_PS1_PATTERN": r"linaro-test \[rc=(\d+)\]# ",

"TESTER_PS1_INCLUDES_RC": True,

"boot_cmds": "boot_cmds",

"line_separator": "\n",

# for lava-test-shell

"distro": "debian",

"tar_flags": "--warning no-timestamp",

"lava_test_sh_cmd": "/bin/bash",

"lava_test_dir": "/var/lava-%s",

"lava_test_results_part_attr": "root_part",

"lava_test_results_dir": "/var/lava-%s",

"lava_test_shell_file": "~/.bashrc",

}

Status of the change : The overlay unpack is not happening in the specific directory that we applied to lava_test_dir and lava_test_results_dir.

I would appreciate it if you could send the solution of the issue that I raised here.

Regards,

Sarath P T

Hi Team,

Facing an issue while unpack the overlay in some custom location other than “/” directory. From the LAVA linaro documentation I came to know that the -C / command to tar is essential or the test shell will not be able to start. Below are the issues that I am facing because of this.

My / directory is a read only one and I want it in some /etc or /var. The LAVA job is getting stuck while doing the unpack with the command below in job definition.

transfer_overlay:

  download_command: cd /tmp; wget

  unpack_command: tar -C /tmp -xzf

Below I am attaching the test log from LAVA.

How we can solve the read only filesystem image issue for unpacking the overlay other than “/” directory ?

Regards, Sarath P T
