[CentOS-devel] Request for testing / validation for GenericCloud image

( ~ 922 MB)

The qcow2 filesize looks unreasonably large compared to the xz compressed
version. Zero-filling and qcow2-compressing the image reduced its size to
~350MB.

DHCP/cloud-init has assigned the hostname, or doesn't reinitialise on the
change of hostname.

cloud-init debug messages don't show up on the console and are also not
logged in /var/log/cloud-init.log. I don't claim I understand cloud-init's
logging crazyness but there's some unfortunate interaction with systemd. I
*think* the problem is that systemd swallows console messages from legacy
services and only writes them to the journal but not the console. In fact,
no output from any of the other legacy services appear on the console which
could help with debugging boot issues. Setting "ForwardToConsole=yes" in
/etc/systemd/journald.conf 'fixes' the issues.

Other than that: Ship it!
