** Description changed: + SRU Justification + + [Impact] + Hello, It seems that although the Azure kernel distribution includes the `tcm_loop` module by default, the EKS-optimised image's default kernel doesn't, instead including the module in the `linux-kernel- extras-$(uname -r)` package. `tcm_loop` is an incredibly useful package for any storage fabric software packages - eg. Ceph, Rook or Ondat. It would be very helpful to have it embedded into the default kernel distribution in order to reduce friction on installing 'storage fabric' type topologies. The Ubuntu on EKS images are all listed in https://cloud- images.ubuntu.com/docs/aws/eks/ - I'd be happy to provide any information necessary to help shave off this extra bit of work required to setup such images. + + [Fix] + + Add tcm_loop.ko to the inclusion list + + [Test Case] + + Check that linux-modules includes tcp_loop.ko + + [Where things could go wrong] + + Moving tcm_loop.ko from linux-modules-extra could impact proprietary + methods. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-aws in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1959593 Title: tcm_loop requires '-extras' for EKS optimised AMIs Status in cloud-images: New Status in linux-aws package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in linux-aws source package in Focal: In Progress Status in linux-aws source package in Impish: In Progress Status in linux-aws source package in Jammy: In Progress Bug description: SRU Justification [Impact] Hello, It seems that although the Azure kernel distribution includes the `tcm_loop` module by default, the EKS-optimised image's default kernel doesn't, instead including the module in the `linux-kernel- extras-$(uname -r)` package. `tcm_loop` is an incredibly useful package for any storage fabric software packages - eg.
