I could confirm that I can run the guest that way and it uses the intended root=/dev/disk/by-path/ip-10.0.12.2:3260-iscsi-tgt-boot-test- b7X8g2-lun-1-part1.
The only and unfortunate difference to the issue when run on LP infra stays, that it works all of the time :-/ Note: I ran most of them in background after verifying once how they behave. But wanted to make sure they complete reproducibly. a - manual login, no user data case 3/3 b - user data collect data to disk and shut down 3/3 c - user data collect just shut down 3/3 d - user data collect data to disk and shut down, no tty (nohup CMD > log 2>&1) 3/3 e - non interactive like autopkgtest would run it 3/3 f - non interactive like autopkgtest would run it forcing KVM mode 3/3 Next I was parsing all the logs that the fails on LP accumulated recently. I found this errors whichi is interesting: iscsistart: initiator reported error (15 - session exists) I realized this is present on ALL logs that we gathered. But after thinking I had a lead on this I realized that the good cases had those messages as well. Also found the mentioned "ordering cycle on media-root\x2dro.mount/start" In good as well as bad logs. So neither of these "is it" Essentially the boot around the iscsi root has these steps with some noise in between - looking for differences in good/bad cases. They start the same even with sharing a few errors that seem to be red herrings: [...] (early boot) all logs (id changes) - Logging into tgt-boot-test-o3PlsL 10.1.1.2:3260,1 all logs - mounted filesystem with ordered data on 7/17 logs (also good) - Found ordering cycle ... only all bad cases - Dependency failed for Local File Systems only all bad cases - Timed out waiting for device (devices change) only all bad cases - Started Emergency Shell That matches this bug here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1732028 Title: timeout in iscsi boot fail with overlayroot [open-iscsi autopkg tests on LP Infra] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-iscsi/+bug/1732028/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
