Hello all,
As I announced a few weeks back[1], the CentOS Hyperscale SIG started producing an experimental Hyperscale Workstation Spin to showcase the technologies we're working on to the broader community.
Today, I'm pleased to announce that we've made an updated image to address some issues present in the first release.
Like before, the spin is currently available here:
* ISO: https://ngompa.fedorapeople.org/centos/hyperscale/CS8-HS-WORK-LIVE-LATESTDEV... * SHA512 checksum: https://ngompa.fedorapeople.org/centos/hyperscale/CS8-HS-WORK-LIVE-LATESTDEV...
The changes with this build (aside from updated packages):
* The Anaconda installer icon and other branding is now correctly present and used. Thanks to Alain Reguera Delgado and Carl George for getting all this in place!
* "dnf upgrade" works now, as we've refreshed our custom version of the RPM+DNF stack.
* UDisks2 now has its Btrfs module installed out of the box. GNOME Disks, Cockpit, and others that use UDisks2 will now be able to properly detect and work with Btrfs (insomuch as the feature have been implemented in those tools).
The other known issues from the initial announcement[1] are still present in this release. However, there is a new known issue:
* Blivet is broken with MD devices with names that look like BIOS drive numbers, causing Anaconda to crash in the process. This is caused by the blivet rebase from 3.2.x to 3.4.0 without backporting the fix for this issue and is present in the CentOS Stream 8 software. Red Hat Bugzilla bug report (with patch): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1983309
If you find any other issues, we would definitely love to hear about them! We have a dedicated issue tracker for Hyperscale spins where we would appreciate bugs to be reported: https://pagure.io/centos-sig-hyperscale/spin-bugs
We hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making this!
Thanks and best regards, Neal (on behalf of the CentOS Hyperscale SIG)
