No devices with F39 on Raspberry Pi
by Peter Boy 29 Oct '23

29 Oct '23

Just checked the F39 rc1.2 on an raspi4 with Server Edition. The fix for the display issue (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2241252) does work for Server, too. But there is a next issue: If I try to adjust the LVM volume to the size of the SD card, I can enlarge the partition mmcblk0p3 using cfdisk as usual without issues. But with pvresize I get > $ sudo pvresize /dev/mmcblk0p3 > [sudo] password for pb: > Cannot use /dev/mmcblk0p3: device is not in devices file > 0 physical volume(s) resized or updated / 0 physical volume(s) not resized A lsblk > # lsblk > NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS > mmcblk0 179:0 0 59.5G 0 disk > ├─mmcblk0p1 179:1 0 600M 0 part /boot/efi > ├─mmcblk0p2 179:2 0 1G 0 part /boot > └─mmcblk0p3 179:3 0 57.9G 0 part > └─fedora-root 253:0 0 5.4G 0 lvm / > zram0 252:0 0 3.7G 0 disk [SWAP] looks fine and as expected. And with cockpit -> storage the category „devices“ is empty (instead of listing a LVM volume fedora as to expect). It seems, there is something badly wrong with the image. Hence the error message with arm-installer after writing the image onto disk: > = Writing image complete! > mount: /tmp/root: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'. > dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call. as mentioned in an earlier mail and as discussed at the go/no-go meeting (https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2023-10-26/f39-final-go_no… ) The bottom line is that Server Edition is still unusable on Raspi4 and any other SBC, unfortunately. What to do and how to proceed (the next go/no-go meeting is in 4 days expecting rc 1.4 tomorrow or shortly after) ? -- Peter Boy https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pboy PBoy(a)fedoraproject.org Timezone: CET (UTC+1) / CEST (UTC+2) Fedora Server Edition Working Group member Fedora Docs team contributor and board member Java developer and enthusiast

Issues with F39
by Peter Boy 26 Oct '23

26 Oct '23

As you may have noticed, we have to F39 release yet. RC 1.2 came out this morning and I did various testing. What I learned from it: We should not rely on automated testing to the extent we have. After all, things went well for a long time and we gained the impression that there was not much to test. We now have an installation media that, before the user has even done anything other than plug in the USB stick, prints 10 lines of error/warning messages before starting the installer. The installation works anyway, but this makes an unprofesionell and unserious impression right at the beginning. I do not know with which previous version this occurred. But we have to detect something like this earlier and work towards fixing it. Another issue is the aarch64 raw image (for SBCs like Raspi). On a Rpi it produces a Server where the screen goes blank after initiating the video and on other devices like Pine64 RockPro the installation script produces additionally an unbootble system disk. It is unclear, if that gets fixed until next week, probably not. I’m not sure if we really should have such a crippled DIY thingy on the Download page. Anyway, we must organize more pre release testing for future releases. -- Peter Boy https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pboy PBoy(a)fedoraproject.org Timezone: CET (UTC+1) / CEST (UTC+2) Fedora Server Edition Working Group member Fedora Docs team contributor and board member Java developer and enthusiast

https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/3082 - proposal to increase aarch64 netinst image size limit to 1G
by Adam Williamson 15 Oct '23

15 Oct '23

Hey folks! Sorry, I don't know why it didn't occur to me to send this through the server list first, it was purely an oversight. I've sent a ticket to FESCo: https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/3082 proposing we bump the max size of the aarch64 Server netinst image (which is release-blocking) from 700M to 1G, as the image is oversize for F39 final and the limit really doesn't seem to make any sense any more. A detailed justification is in the ticket. If you have passionate opinions on this, please read the ticket and comment. Thanks :) -- Adam Williamson (he/him/his) Fedora QA Fedora Chat: @adamwill:fedora.im | Mastodon: @adamw@fosstodon.org https://www.happyassassin.net

Re: Our meeting today

I didn't make it to our meeting yesterday, but I did spend some time trouble shooting one of my Fedora servers in the homelab. I thought it was a broken NIC, but I should have hooked it up to a monitor and keyboard and watched the bootup sequence, because after swapping out the motherboard (I had 2 spares) to get a different onboard NIC I had the same issue, because I had a hard drive failure of the system drive (Btrfs data array that I'm using for /home seems to be fine). So I put a "new" system drive into the server, and had a successful install of Fedora Server 39-Beta from a USB image. Everything seems to be just as great as Fedora 38 which this box had before.
