[Bug 1307614] Re: MAAS sometimes attempts to install to USB flash drive
It is possible to make an Ubuntu Minimal USB for installing Ubuntu on devices that are hard to install with the full-sized Ubuntu iso. see: https:https://sarkariresult.onl/ , https://pnrstatus.vip/ & https://19216811.cam/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1307614 Title: MAAS sometimes attempts to install to USB flash drive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1307614/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1307614] Re: MAAS sometimes attempts to install to USB flash drive
The feature that I would like in maas to address this is the ability for the user to provide installer config (in addition to user-data). This installer config would be passed wholesale through maas to curtin (or d-i). . This would allow either a.) the user to provide curtin-config without modifying maas templates (since they can't change those unles they're admin) b.) juju to provide curtin-config to set a certain layout of disks for its known use case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to curtin in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1307614 Title: MAAS sometimes attempts to install to USB flash drive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1307614/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 1307614] Re: MAAS sometimes attempts to install to USB flash drive
Something we want to add to MAAS is the idea of recommissioning, i.e. when a node is released back to MAAS, it runs a cycle that does a bunch of things to get the machine ready to go out the door again. For example, reset BIOS settings, erase disks. Like commissioning, a MAAS admin would be able to configure their own scripts to run. With the existing commissioning stage and a new commissioning stage, we'd have an opportunity to run a site-specific find me the disk on which to put the OS script. This could set a pre-agreed disk label, e.g. OS or ROOT, that curtin could be modified to take notice of. More flexible than that is for curtin to grow the capability to run a site-specific fine me the disk script directly, but that would entail more work in MAAS to support it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to curtin in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1307614 Title: MAAS sometimes attempts to install to USB flash drive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1307614/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Roderick, To quote the page you referenced: | Ubuntu Server (CLI) Installation | 300 MHz x86 processor | 192 MiB of system memory (RAM) | 1 GB of disk space | Graphics card and monitor capable of 640x480 | CD drive 1GB for server. so 2GB is *twice* the *recommended* (not required) amount. The point is that determining which disk is right is more about how the system will be used than anything else. Curtin allows the user via config to specify the drives (by device name) that are considered for installation. Admittedly, its not very dynamic, and requires knowledge of the how the system you're installing on, but simply: partitioning_commands: builtin: curtin block-meta --device=/dev/sdb simple That overrides the 'builtin' partitioning command (which is 'block-meta simple'). You can accomplish that through maas vi editing the configs that it sends to curtin. My argument boils down to this: The user is who knows what the right configuration is. Curtin did automatically choose a valid configuration. Coding a long list of hueristics to determine what the user wants is not ever going to satisfy all use case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to curtin in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1307614 Title: MAAS sometimes attempts to install to USB flash drive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1307614/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Roderick, fwiw, its not terribly obvious that the 2GB disk is wrong.

[Bug 1307614] Re: MAAS sometimes attempts to install to USB flash drive
The official Ubuntu system requirements include 5GB of disk space (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements), so installing to a 2GB disk is just plain wrong. This bug report was just bumped in priority because it's similar to problems being experienced with other configurations with more exotic storage devices.
