Title: SRU cloud-initramfs-rooturl to archive Status in cloud-initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in cloud-initramfs-tools source package in Trusty: Confirmed Status in cloud-initramfs-tools source package in Xenial: Confirmed Status in cloud-initramfs-tools source package in Yakkety: Confirmed Bug description: === Begin SRU Template === [Impact] MAAS has an interest in booting entirely ephemerally without iscsi root. The package cloud-initramfs-rooturl supports booting with root coming from a url. root=http://..../squashfs This function will be used to pxe boot into a RAM only system with no dependency on the network. [Test Case] 1. make sure squashfs module is in the initramfs squashfs module is not automatically added to initramfs in precise. Just ensure that it is there. $ echo "manual_add_modules squashfs" | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/squashfs 2. install cloud-initramfs-rooturl sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install cloud-initramfs-rooturl 3. collect the kernel and newly generated initramfs sudo cat /boot/vmlinu?-$(uname -r) > kernel cp /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r) initrd 4. Download a squashfs image or a .tar.xz image rel="xenial" burl="http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/daily/server"; file="$rel-server-cloudimg-amd64-root.tar.xz" file="$rel-server-cloudimg-amd64.squashfs" wget "$burl/$rel/current/$file" -O "$file" 5. run a web server python -m SimpleHTTPServer 9999 & 6. create a seed disk for cloud-init. $ cat > my-user-data <<EOF #cloud-config password: passw0rd chpasswd: { expire: False } ssh_pwauth: True $ echo "instance-id: $(uuidgen || echo i-abcdefg)" > my-meta-data $ cloud-localds seed.img my-user-data my-meta-data 7. Boot a vm using the kernel, initrd and url. cmdline="root=http://10.0.2.2:9999/$file console=ttyS0 -v " cmdline="${cmdline} overlayroot=tmpfs" qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm \ -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net00 \ -netdev type=user,id=net00 \ -drive if=virtio,file=seed.img \ -m 1G -nographic \ -kernel kernel -initrd initrd \ -append "root=$cmdline" [Regression Potential] Low. This is adding a package previously not present.
