[Bug 1559699] Re: [1.9.1] Commissioning doesn't detect partitioning of secondary hard disk
Martin, On commissioning, MAAS won't detect your partitions on the secondary disk and for the moment, MAAS won't gain that ability to auto-detect partitions. On deployment, these partitions will be wiped out as a premise that MAAS won't keep old data. This is a security mechanism/feature to ensure that MAAS doesn't allow data to be available on the disk to users who re-use the machines for different purposes. As such, I'm marking this bug as won't fix provided MAAS won't give the ability to keep the data. ** Changed in: maas (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to maas in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1559699 Title: [1.9.1] Commissioning doesn't detect partitioning of secondary hard disk To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/maas/+bug/1559699/+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 1559699] Re: [1.9.1] Commissioning doesn't detect partitioning of secondary hard disk
Thank you for the clarification. Yes, it is pre-partioned. The bigger problem with this is, that even the disk is not used, all the partitions get *deleted*. According to current documentation (http://maas.ubuntu.com/docs/changelog.html) it says: "Default Storage Partitioning Layout - Flat [...] The current default Partitioning layout is ‘Flat’, maintaining backwards compatibility with previous MAAS releases. This means MAAS will take the first disk it finds in the system and use it as the root and boot disk. " I was expecting there are no modifications on secondary disks. ** Changed in: maas (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to maas in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1559699 Title: [1.9.1] Commissioning doesn't detect partitioning of secondary hard disk To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/maas/+bug/1559699/+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 1559699] Re: [1.9.1] Commissioning doesn't detect partitioning of secondary hard disk
The commissioning process does not detect the partitions of the disk because MAAS will change the layout after commissioning. If the disk layout has been changed from MAAS itself, and the user re-commissions the machine, the user has the opportunity to "keep" the storage changes, if so desires. If I understand this bug correctly, you had your disk pre-partitioned and you commissioned it, and MAAS didn't, as it is expected, detect the partitioning layout. As such I'm marking this bug as invalid, because it is not in MAAS. However, if you changed the layout manually on the MAAS UI/API, and re- commissioned the machine, and selected the option to 'Keep' the partitioning layout on commissioning, but MAAS didn't keep it, then this would be a different bug. If so, please file it against lp:maas. ** Changed in: maas (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to maas in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1559699 Title: [1.9.1] Commissioning doesn't detect partitioning of secondary hard disk To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/maas/+bug/1559699/+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
