** Description changed: - With bug #1218506, cloud-init is now able to format the ephemeral disk. - Currently walinuxagent handles the preperation of the ephemeral disk. - Since cloud-init can handle doing that work now, this feature in - walinuxagent should be disabled and enabled for cloud-init in the - Windows Azure data source. + [Impact]: With Cloud-init on 13.10, the ability for Cloud-init to + parition and prepare the ephemeral devices was added. By default, 13.10 + handles the formating of Windows Azure Cloud Images. As part of Bug: + #1233315, the functionality has been backported to support SmartOS. This + SRU will change the provisioning of pre-13.10 Windows Azure instances to + use the same functionality for ephemeral device preparation as SmartOS. + + For 12.04, this simply is enabling the ephemeral device formating + support. For 12.10 and 13.04, the full Windows Azure DataSource from + 13.10 has been backported and finalizes the SRU in Bug: #1037723 + + [Test Case]: See Comment 4 for detailed test case information + SmartOS: + - Build image with SmartOS enabled as Cloud-init datasource + - Login via SSH + - Confirm: + - /dev/vdb mounted to /mnt + - /dev/vdb is of type ext3, label is 'ephemeral0' + + Azure: + * Upgrade: + - Boot current image + - install new packages + - confirm that previous /etc/waagent.conf has provisioning functions turned on + - make sure that /var/lib/instance/sem/config-disk-setup is present + - place file on ephemeral drive + - reboot + - confirm that file is on ephemeral drive + - look at /var/lib/cloud-init.log indicates that disk_setup was skipped + * New Image: + - Boot image built with new packages (i.e. from PPA/proposed) + - confirm that /etc/waagent.conf has provisioning and ephemeral disk functions disabled + - confirm that /dev/sdb1 mounted to /mnt + - confirm that /dev/sdb1 is of type ext4, no label + * Confirm test cases in Bug: #1231490 + + [Regression]: This SRU adds a default cloud-init module of "disk_setup," + which will format ephemeral devices for the Azure and SmartOS + datasources. Both the Azure and SmartOS datasources define default + devices that should be partitioned/formated. + + There are a number of safe guards to prevent accidental data-deletion. + The datasources are configured to _not_ overwrite any file system and to + detect if the disk is in use. + + As a further safe guard, the postinst sets a semaphore for cloud-init to + prevent the disk_setup module from running when it detects that a system + has been previously configured. + + + [ORIGINAL REPORT]: With bug #1218506, cloud-init is now able to format the ephemeral disk. Currently walinuxagent handles the preperation of the ephemeral disk. Since cloud-init can handle doing that work now, this feature in walinuxagent should be disabled and enabled for cloud-init in the Windows Azure data source.
