I thought I explained this before.

Writing to losetup from inside mock gets you a device outside mock that is invisible inside.

How the tests work 99.9% of the time?

 

The way to solve this is to run mknod a few times to get the needed device files.

You can see examples of this in the ovirt-node build scripts.

"git grep mknod" in ovirt-node source does not show anything.

We have random failures of loop device tests on jenkins (see example bellow).

Barak commented that losetup -f /path does not work sometimes in the CI

but I don't recall what it the alternative way to get a loop device.

We need a reliable way to create a loop device for vdsm tests. What

is the recommended way to do this?

Until we have a reliable solution I'm going to mark this test as broken

on ovirt CI:

Please report if you see other tests fail with this error - typically:

Error: Command ['losetup', '--find', '--show', '/tmp/tmp17Wqri/file'] failed with rc=1 out='' err='losetup: /tmp/tmp17Wqri/file: failed to set up loop device: No such file or directory\n'
