Description Brian Smith 2021-01-25 16:30:33 UTC

Description of problem:
In RHEL for Edge 8.3, greenboot will attempt 3 boots if the health check script fails.  This is a request to make the number of boot attempts configurable.  


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL for Edge 8.3, greenboot-0.11-1.el8.x86_64


How reproducible: Every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Configure greenboot on RHEL for Edge system
2.  Upgrade RHEL for Edge
3.  If greenboot health check script fails, 3 boot attempts are completed before rollback.  

Actual results:
- Number of greenboot boot attempts does not appear to be configurable. 

Expected results:
- Able to configure number of greenboot boot attempts


Additional info:
It appears that the number of boot attempts is set in /etc/systemd/system/ostree-finalize-staged.service.requires/greenboot-grub2-set-counter.service  However, this file is a symbolic link to a file under /usr, which on RHEL for Edge, is mounted read-only.
