Barak Korren updated OVIRT-892:
-------------------------------
Epic Link: OVIRT-400
Allow for optional bind mounts in Standard-CI
---------------------------------------------
Key: OVIRT-892
URL:
https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/browse/OVIRT-892
Project: oVirt - virtualization made easy
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Barak Korren
Assignee: infra
Standard-CI as supported a *.mounts file for a while. The way it works is that it fails
if something it tries to mount does not exist.
We recently changed it (in OVIRT-751) so that if something that it tries to mount does
not exist, it create an empty directory and mounts it instead.
We want to change the behaviour to make it more controllable so that we can specify in
the mount file what to do if the thing we want to mount does not exist (And also what it
should be, directory, file or a device), there are a few options:
# Fail - what it used to do
# Create what it needs - what it does now
# Just ignore and not mound
Option #3 is useful for situation where you mount sockets in order to connect to services
on the host (Like Docker or Libvirt). If the bound mount is optional - we could gracefully
handle the situation where the service is not running on the host by installing and
running it from within the Standard-CI script.
