Sorry, I apparently submitted the Bug report without providing this data.
Description of problem:
When using pylorax to create a custom FC18 ISO, the create_runtime method of RuntimeBuilder creates a 1GB ext4 partition by default. With increasing size of packages in the distro, we think this should be increased to 2GB. This seems to be the intention based on the comment on line 153 ("2GB sparse file compresses down to nothin").
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lorax-18.29-1.fc18.x86_64
How reproducible:
Every time when we try to build a custom ISO from based on latest FC18 repos.
Steps to Reproduce:
I'm not sure how much detail you want on this. I could give you all our python scripts and config files, but I don't think you really want all of it. Bottom line, the pylorax class doesn't seem to provide a way to pass size value to treebuilder, and therefore we think the default needs to be increased, or it needs to become configurable.
1. Attempt to use the pylorax libraries to create an custom FC18 ISO via calls to treebuilder and repobuilder.
Actual results:
You get "No space left on device" errors and lorax fails to create an ISO.
Expected results:
Expected to get a valid ISO.
Additional info:
When we changed the code to make the default size=2 or size=0 (line 149), the ISO generates successfully.
Pass the size, in GiB, to create_runtime like this: create_runtime(joinpaths(work_dir, runtime), size=2) Or size=None to let it try and figure out how much space is needed. (In reply to comment #2) > Pass the size, in GiB, to create_runtime like this: > > create_runtime(joinpaths(work_dir, runtime), size=2) > > Or size=None to let it try and figure out how much space is needed. We're trying to use the top-level Lorax class as is and have succeeded until now. The issue is that the lorax.run() method allows us to prep everything we need except this size. As written, the size cannot be passed into lorax.run() by any means that we are aware of, and the subsequent call it makes to create_runtime does not pass a size. We prefer not to have to branch off the official code stream in order to have access to set this size parameter. Ah! Thanks for the clarification. That should be simple to add. This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. |
