Hi Matt,
172 - Question: Is it indeed required that /var/share live in the
root pool?
As var share is specified to be "in_be", and a BE can only reside on
the root pool then yes it has to be on the root pool.
I think you misstated that, the /var/share filesystem (i.e. VARSHARE) is
not in_be.
Let me restate the question, would this be a valid configuration?
rpool/ROOT/solaris /
rpool/ROOT/soalris/var /var
....
foopool/export /export
foopool/export/home /export/home
foopool/VARSHARE /var/share
Or is the /var/share filesystem actually required to be in the same pool
as the root pool for some reason? (I just want to make sure we're not
enforcing something that isn't required.)
266 - With this line being moved here, are we missing the setting for
canmount for /var now?
Setting of "canmount" on /var was never required and is not being done
anywhere. It's only set on VARSHARE.
That can't be. Generically, any child dataset underneath a BE's root
dataset must have canmount=noauto. Otherwise, the call to "zfs mount
-a" from the filesystem/local service method ends up trying to mount
that filesystem from all BEs causing failure of that service.
For cases where VARHSARE is in the manifest, a user must also
explicitly specify compression=<something>, for our code to not glean
that property from /var, is that correct?
If VARSHARE is specified in the manifest and it does NOT have a
specifiic compression value set, then our code
will only attempt to set compression on VARSHARE :
- if Specified on /var
- if Specifiied on BE
Thanks for the clarification.
Specification on /var Filesystem element takes precedence over BE
element.
Nit -- The code paths starting at 211 and 266 are now getting a bit
unwieldy, and they seem to try to handle the same thing -- setting
the Options for the filesystem at hand. Is there any way we can
consolidate these paths?
We are attempting to set the Options in two slightly different
scenarios e.g. VARSHARE exists or VARSHARE does not exist. I've tried
adding utility functions as best I can, and I feel what's there at the
moment is sufficient. As pointed out to be before it's actually more
efficient in Python to not have too many utility methods.
I wasn't necessarily thinking adding a function, but its ok, this was
just a nit, I'll drop this.

Hi,
Can I get two pairs of eyes to look over this fix please:
Bug
http://monaco.us.oracle.com/detail.jsf?cr=7165978
7165978 AI should create VARSHARE with compression as per /var
Webrev:
https://cr.opensolaris.org/action/browse/caiman/mattman/7165978
This bug was uncovered via zones testing. The default manifest for
zones installation specifies a BE option to turn on compression for
all datasets created within that zone. However as VARSHARE is not
within the BE it needs to inherit the compression property from var
dataset that's created within the BE.
The changes I've made allow for a user to still specify compression
for var and VARSHARE to be different via manually specification in
an AI manifest. A warning message is shown if they manually set it,
but installation will complete.
This CR also fixes a scenario for canmount not being set if VARSHARE
was specified in a manifest.
Testing:
- Build ISOS for AI, TI and GUI and tested full installs and verified
on first boot compression property set to the same value for var and
VARSHARE datasets.
- For AI and zones installs, I tried out a number of different
scenarios where compression is set with within BE or manually via
Filesystem elements for var and VARSHARE. Always ensuring that var
and VARSHARE are the same unless VARSHARE manually set.
- Ran full set of slim_source unit tests and no regressions found.
cheers
Matt
