Hi Folks,
You're likely familiar with our node provisioner Duffy (https://wiki.centos.org/QaWiki/CI/Duffy).
In order to support new features, and encourage interested folks to participate in development with us, we are gathering requirements to get started soon on Duffy Version 2. Duffy2 will be developed with an OSS license, and posted in a public repository.
Some of you have pending RFEs that we'll deal with during development:
- Support Fedora Images (https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=13626)
- Support for cloud VMs in cloud.ci.centos.org
- Support for VLAN Isolation on the Seamicro hardware
- Support for extending an existing session (https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=9773)
If you have a feature request for us to track let's talk about it here.
It would be helpful to have an option for keeping extras disks (or a partition) available for free-to-use storage. This can help testing features in Gluster (and probably Ceph) that require a block device. We currently work around that with disk-images/losetup kind of approaches, but it is definitely not how actual deployments are expected to be done.
Thanks, Niels
Would some proportion of free space in the primary volume group be sufficient for your needs, or do you need bare partitions?
A bare partition would be better. For snapshots of Gluster volumes we use LVM thin-provisioning and need to setup a VG for that. There is also work in progress to support btrfs snapshots, and I dont think we should place those on a PV either.
can be accomodated with something like an on-demand install / provision where you can parameterise the kickstart itself, but the flip side is ~ 5 min wait for the machine to become available.
