Hi all,
I'm trying to modify the oVirt NGN image (to add RPMs, since imgbased rpmpersistence
currently seems to have a bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1528468 ) but
I'm unfortunately stuck at the very beginning: it seems that I'm unable to
recreate even the standard 4.1 squashfs image.
I'm following the instructions at
https://gerrit.ovirt.org/gitweb?p=ovirt-node-ng.git;a=blob;f=README
I'm working inside a CentOS7 fully-updated vm (hosted inside VMware, with nested
virtualization enabled).
I'm trying to work on the 4.1 branch, so I issued a:
./autogen.sh
--with-ovirt-release-rpm-url=http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release41.rpm
And after that I'm stuck in the "make squashfs" step: it never ends (keeps
printing dots forever with no errors/warnings in log messages nor any apparent activity on
the virtual disk image).
Invoking it in debug mode and connecting to the VNC console shows the detailed Plymouth
startup listing stuck (latest messages displayed: "Starting udev Wait for Complete
Device Initialization..." and "Starting Device-Mapper Multipath Device
Controller...")
I wonder if it's actually supposed to be run only from a recent Fedora (the
"dnf" reference seems a good indicator): if so, which version?
I kindly ask for advice: has anyone succeeded in modifying/reproducing NGN squash images
recently? If so, how? :-)
Many thanks in advance,
Giuseppe

I haven't tried to build on EL for a long time, but the easiest way to
modify may simply be to unpack the squashfs, chroot inside of it, and
repack it. Have you tried this?

Recent versions of livemedia-creator use qemu directly instead of libvirt,
and I think I saw a problem there also, but didn't get to fix it just yet.
You can use virt-builder to install a centos vm, or use an el7-based mock
environment. You can follow the jenkins job here [1], basically you need
to do is:
1. clone ovirt-node-ng (you already did)
2. clone jenkins
3. cd ovirt-node-ng
4. ../jenkins/mock_configs/mock_runner.sh --build-only --mock-confs-dir
../jenkins/mock_configs/ --shell 'el7.*x86_64'
This will create a chroot environment in the same way we do in our CI, in
that chroot shell, do `cd ~` and then autogen, and make squashfs....
