ovirt-config-boot fails to update boot files
Last modified: 2011-07-01 21:23:44 EDT
Description of problem: ovirt-config-boot fails to update boot info Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: - copy new iso file to node - source . /etc/init.d/ovirt-functions - run mount_boot - run ovirt-config-boot /boot /mnt/img Actual results: Does not update files Expected results: update files Additional info: Looks like what is happening is that when you run mount_boot it mounts the /boot partition however does not update fstab. It looks like parted looks at fstab so in the script always fails: if [ 0 -eq $? ]; then ovirt_boot_setup "$disk" "$live" "$bootparams"
looks like the device label is getting set wrong: e2label on /dev/sda1 = "BOOT" needs to be "/BOOT" changing fixes the problem -D
I get kernel dump when I run this command, however its not dumping core to the serial console...... # parted /dev/sda1 "print all" > /dev/ttyS0 2>&1 Model: Unknown (unknown) Disk /dev/sda1: 52.0MB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: loop Number Start End Size File system Flags 1 0.00kB 52.0MB 52.0MB ext3 Model: ATA WDC WD1600ADFS-7 (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 160GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 0.51kB 52.0MB 52.0MB primary ext3 boot 2 52.0MB 160GB 160GB primary lvm Model: SanDisk Cruzer (scsi) Disk /dev/sdb: 4016MB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 31.7kB 4015MB 4015MB primary fat32 boot Error: Unable to open /dev/md0 - unrecognised disk label.

Ok I think this was a problem on the image I was trying to update from: ovirt-node-image-0.97-0.1.el5ovirt.x86_64.rpm. On this image when the above command was run parted segfaulted and caused ovirt-config-boot, causing the image not to be installed. So rebuilt a new image and forced it onto the box, now when the above command is run parted catches the error and prints out a nice error message: something like can not partition outside the disk. I can now run an upgrade form the new image to the new image. The only issue is that you have to run ovirt-config-storage first (I think this is working as designed).
