Before releasing my lvm backup tool, I thought I'd ask about updating
thin-provisioning-tools package from the rather old 0.5.x version in
Fedora
25 dom0 to 0.7.4 or later.
Which package exactly do you have in mind? thin_delta tool is part of
device-mapper-persistent-data package, which in fc25-based dom0 is at
0.6.3. Is it this package you're talking about?
Yes, I meant to type 0.6.x, and forgot that Fedora has
'device-mapper-persistent-data' instead of the original package name
used by other distros.
The reason is that the f25 version of 'thin_delta' is somewhat crash
prone.
Although not a direct problem for data integrity, it does prevent
backups
from proceeding. And since a substantial portion of users will likely be
running Qubes, I'd rather not make an appeal to manually "fix your OS
first"
marring the experience.
I'm currently using thin-provisioning-tools 0.7.6 in dom0 and they
work fine
with both 4.14 and 4.19 kernels; none of the updated commands have
crashed
on me.
If that doesn't poll enormous amount of dependencies (which I understand
it doesn't), then I'm fine with that. We already have linux-dom0-updates
repository, with script to easily pull and rebuild packages from fc28.
That would be device-mapper-persistent-data 0.7.5. Would that work for
you?
Yes, 0.7.5 would be great... Thanks! The dependencies seem pretty basic
(libexpat.so.1) and weren't a problem when I upgraded from the
github/jthornber author distro.
