OST switching back to CirrOS

Hi, FYI we’ve just switched back from CentOS to CirrOS VMs in OST basic suite, saving 900MB of data transferred all the time (and copied back and forth during test) as well as lower memory requirements (down to 128MB from 384MB, times 3 VMs). For a good measure a memory hot unplug test was added too. Let me know if you see anything unusual, other than faster run times. Thanks, michal

Several suites are broken right now, e.g.: https://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/ovirt-system-tests_he-basic-suite-master/1691/... Due to missing function get_vm0_ip_address, which you removed in your patch. Is there a problem to restore this function (even if basic suite does not use it anymore), or it won't work as-is? Perhaps it won't work if moving to cirros also other suites? Trying, anyway: https://gerrit.ovirt.org/110559 Best regards, -- Didi

it will work, it’s just the convoluted linking of files between suites…

I noticed too, sorry, forgot to add you to review of https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/110554/ i’ll merge it now
