Version 0.9
-----------
Changed the default CUSTOMIZE_DIR (under $sysconfdir, usually /etc) from
ganeti/instance-debootstrap.d to ganeti/instance-debootstrap/hooks, to
match better with the directory used for the variants file. Now
customization of the instance-debootstrap is done either in the defaults
file or under ganeti/instance-debootstrap.
Fix serial console access for kvm instances (bind to ttyS0 rather than
console). Please note that with this change if you toggle the serial
console hypervisor parameter in Ganeti, but don't create the getty entry
in /etc/inittab or /etc/event.d/ you won't have serial access. Before it
used to work, but the serial console was slightly broken (no ctrl+c for
example).
Also start shipping the examples in the tar archive, to ease packaging.
Version 0.8
-----------
Added support for OS API 15 (with OS variants) that is supported by
Ganeti 2.1.
blktype is now supported as an alternative to vol_id; this is needed for
newer Debian-based operating systems.
Added an example grub script, that can be used for automatically
installing grub inside new instances.
Version 0.7
-----------
Fix Ganeti 1.2 compatibility (0.6 was broken) and force the scripts to be
executed under /bin/bash (rather than /bin/sh). This fixes compatibility with
distributions where /bin/sh is not bash.
Support 'msdos' partition style, in which the instance disk gets a partition
table, and one big partition, rather than creating the filesytem directly on
the block device. This requires kpartx to be installed, and is the default when
installing under Ganeti 2.0.
Added the possibility to customize the installation without having to patch the
os directly, by executing the scripts in CUSTOMIZE_DIR and giving them a chance
to change the instance filesystem. As an example a script that sets the first
nic to request a dhcp address is provided.
Version 0.6
-----------
Support for Ganeti 2.0 (os api 10)
The instance's fstab is now generated with volumes' UUIDs rather than paths.
This makes it more resilient to changes and use under different
hypervisors/drivers.
Init is configured to listen on /dev/console rather than /dev/tty1
Version 0.5
-----------
Most of the settings of the script have been moved to a configuration
file. Depending on the ./configure options, the location of this file
might be /etc/default/ganeti-instance-debootstrap or
/usr/local/etc/default/ganeti-instance-debootstrap.
The cache generation and cleaning variables can be modified as follows:
- to enable generating the cache, modify the config file and set
GENERATE_CACHE to "yes"
- to disable cleaning the cache, set CLEAN_CACHE to ""; or
alternatively, you can customize with this variable the number of days
after which to clear the cache
Note that the cache file is no longer stored in the same directory as
the OS definition files, but (again depending on ./configure options)
usually under /var/cache/ganeti-instance-debootstrap.
There are many other customuizable settings added in this version, for
example the actual OS to be installed (no longer always installing
Debian Etch), whether to use a proxy or not, etc. See the README and the
'defaults' files.
Version 0.4
-----------
This version fixes the problem of interface renaming at instance import
time, by removing the saved udev hotplug rules (if any).
Version 0.3
-----------
The OS will cache the image of the first instance it installs using the
name "cache-$arch.tar" (where $arch is what dpkg --print-architecture
returns) on a node-by-node basis. This cache will be then used on the
future installs, speeding them greatly (even with a fast mirror). Feel
free to remove the cache at any time, or to copy it to all nodes. The
cache will be kept for two weeks, after which the first install will
recreate the cache (in order not to use old packages). If you don't care
about package age, remove the user write permission (chmod u-w) from the
cache and ganeti will continue to use the same file without refreshing
it.
If you don't have enough space and don't want cache creation, just touch
the file 'no_cache' - this will prevent the creation, but the script
will continue to use a cache if it exists (but it will remove an
existing one after two weeks).
Also note that if the image file is there, the script does not need
network access at all.
