[Olaf Faaland]

Hi Jian,
I saw your comment re: the test failure due to missing e2fsprogs. Is someone working on that? Thanks.

[Jian Yu]

Hi Olaf,
Minh is working on that.
I also started full group test sessions to see if there are any new issues.

[Olaf Faaland]

Hi Jian, great

[Minh Diep]

actually this is pending sync up with upstream e2fsprogs since lustre e2fsprogs version is below el8.2

[Olaf Faaland]

Hi Minh,

actually this is pending sync up with upstream e2fsprogs since lustre e2fsprogs version is below el8.2

Do you mean there's a Whamcloud developer building an updated ldiskfsprogs? Is there an LU ticket for that?

thanks

[Minh Diep]

Hi Olaf,

There will be someone working on that. we'll provide update.

[Olaf Faaland]

Hi Minh,
Do you know if that ldiskfsprogs update is a big project or a small one? Also, is there a reason not to have an LU-ticket for it?

[Jian Yu]

New kernel version: 4.18.0-193.1.2.el8_2
https://access.redhat.com/errata/product/479/ver=/rhel---8/x86_64/RHSA-2020:2102

[Olaf Faaland]

Hi,
Do you have any update on this (other than the new kernel RH released)?
Thanks

[Jian Yu]

Yes, Olaf.
The full group test sessions showed that there are three new failures specific for RHEL 8.2:
sanity-hsm test 90 (LU-13543), test 104 (LU-13544) and test 260c (LU-13545)
Ben is working on them.
I will ask Minh about the progress of updating ldiskfsprogs.

[Jian Yu]

Hi Olaf,
The e2fsprogs update ticket is LU-13558. There are some failures need to be resolved.

[Olaf Faaland]

Thanks for the e2fsprogs ticket.

[Olaf Faaland]

Hi Jian,
Your b2_12 patch stack for the 4.18.0-193.el8 kernel, pushed May 2, needs to be rebased because there are conflicts with patches that landed to b2_12 since then (eb45b5 LU-11089 obd: use wait_event_var() in lu_context_key_degister() at least). Disregard if you already knew this, and thanks.

[Jian Yu]

Thank you very much, Olaf. I'll update the patches.

[Jian Yu]

Hi Olaf, the conflict in lustre-libcfs.m4 was resolved and all of the 7 patches were updated.
